Vodei Multimedia Processor, otherwise known as Vodei MP or just Vodei, is mandatory for the successful playback of multimedia (typically movies) that has been encoded using the Vodei encoder. Vodei makes possible the storage of higher quality content in smaller files and the faster transmission of multimedia files over file distribution networks.
Vodei MP generally requires Windows 98/98SE/2000/ME/XP/Vista with at least 128 MB RAM, 600 MHz processor, and DirectX 7 or better installed in your system. Since Vodei is free to download, you may of course try it on any computer. Windows 7 is partially supported.
No. At this time Vodei MP works only on Windows. We are evaluating the possibility of making a Macintosh and/or Linux version.
No. Vodei MP does not connect to the Internet and it does not record any usage and it does not send any information to anyone. We care about your privacy.
No. Vodei MP doesn't monitor/spy on anything and it does not display any
advertisements on your computer. We are in the software industry, not the espionage industry. And if you do not believe
us, here is proof from an independent third party:

There is nothing you need to run after installation. Vodei MP is a multimedia processor, it is not a multimedia player. Once installed, Vodei encoded content will play in most common video players such as
Windows Media Player or
Winamp.
Download and install the ffdshow codec
from the
AfterDawn website or directly
here.
If you are using the latest version of Vodei MP (which is, as of right now,
2.10), the most common cause of this problem is a missing
MPEG-4 decoder. You simply need to install
ffdshow. You also need to make sure you are using one of the recommended players like
Windows Media Player or
Winamp.
This is a known defect in older
versions of the software on some very unusual hardware
configurations; you should install Vodei MP version
2.10 or newer. If that doesn't
help and you installed ffdshow then use the start menu to uninstall it and
install a different MPEG-4 decoder such as
XviD. Lastly, install
all the important updates from the
Microsoft Windows Update website.
Follow these steps to properly
uninstall and then reinstall Vodei MP:
-
Uninstall by going to Start --> All
Programs --> Vodei MP --> Uninstall
-
Restart your computer
-
Delete C:\Program Files\Vodei if it
hasn't been automatically deleted
-
Install Vodei MP
Sometimes. Versions 2.00 and later of
Vodei MP are capable of playing some incomplete and
corrupt files. Attempting to play an incomplete file
may result in the "You need Vodei MP" screen or an
error being displayed.
Yes. You can use a Registered version
of Vodei MP with
EasyBurner (use coupon code 'vodei') to create
DVDs from Vodei files.
Without
EasyBurner, you can store your downloaded files on
a DVD or other removable computer storage device for
the purpose of backup in the same format as the
original files. However, any DVDs that you burn with
Vodei files will not be readable by a DVD player. You
can only view the files on a computer that has Vodei
MP installed.
Not yet. At this time there are no DVD or any other hardware/firmware players which are compatible with the Vodei format. This means that copying the movie file to a CD or DVD and placing it in your home entertainment system is probably not going to work.
This is expected to change in 2010.
Yes. You can use a Registered version
of Vodei MP with
EasyBurner (use coupon code 'vodei') to create
DVDs from Vodei files. You can then play these DVDs in
your regular standalone DVD player.
If you don't have
EasyBurner, Vodei MP only works when installed on a personal computer or Media Center PC. If you have the capability to connect your TV to a PC then you can watch Vodei encoded videos on your television. Please refer to the documentation for your computer hardware for more information about your machine's capability to interface with a television.
In most cases, connecting your computer to your television is as simple as using an s-video connection. S-video is a standard 4-pin video connection available on most televisions and video cards. S-video only transfers the video image, so you will also need to connect the audio out port on your computer to external speakers or to a home stereo system. Some video cards also come with standard RCA adapters for video and audio and will allow you to connect your computer in the same way you would connect a VCR or video camera.
Yes. You can use a Registered version
of Vodei MP with
EasyBurner (use coupon code 'vodei') to convert
Vodei (and most other multimedia formats) to files
compatible with MAC, Linux, DVD, iPod, PSP, Cell
Phones and more.
EasyBurner is the only application we
recommend for this purpose.
While it is technically feasible, we are not aware of any existing publicly available software which is capable of
modifying Vodei files in any way. If you need to edit
Vodei files, you need to convert them to another
format first (using
EasyBurner).
Yes,
Media Player Classic (MPC) can be configured to work with Vodei MP. After installing the Vodei Multimedia Processor, start Media Player Classic, open the "View" menu and click "Options...". Click "Internal Filters" on the left menu and remove the checkmark next to "AVI" under "Source Filters." Now click "OK". Vodei encoded content will now play in MPC. Here is a
screenshot to help with the configuration process.
