Hi, here I am again with yet another problem with the new upgrade to movie studio suite 2025. mpeg2 activation fails it says repeat the procedure with admin rights. This is my computer and I have admin rights.
While you may be the 'Local administrator' that does not give full admin control.
Try starting MMS 2025 by right-clicking the shortcut and select Run as administrator then activate the codec. Once activated, you should be able to run the program and use the codec with your local admin privileges.
Try temporarily disabling your Antivirus Realtime/Folder protection feature the try to activate the codec again.
If that fails, I would suggest you raise a Support ticket, link is at the top of the page, slect the program then scroll down to the bottom and select Contact support, complete the following dialogs, selecting Contact or Email Support.
Hi. tried right clicking run as admin and disabling all security, still not activating the codecs, why does this keep happening? I have 4 other editing software suites and NEVER have any problems with codecs, it just seems to be this software, I also use davinci resolve, really powerful editor, no problems with codecs AND THAT IS FREE!!!
Ok finally got back to me. After trying all their suggestions, the one that worked as deleting a registry key, so for anyone else having this issue. To locate the registry key, click on "Start" , enter the command "Regedit" and select OK. The registry window appears. Delete the following entry Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{7DC6E619-5C35-4371-9D2A-9CF021CB55D1} if it will not delete you will need to download registrar registry manager free home edition from here https://www.resplendence.com/downloads
Great to hear the problem is resolved. Thanks for the feedback and for giving the solution.
Out of interest, did Support provide the link to the Resplendence Software web site? I have used products from there before, and always found they "did the job" but other users who might read your solution do need to be always cautious about downloading software from third-party sites.
Yes the link was provided by Magix support and the site is safe. I have Norton 360 security as well as malwarebytes installed and there was no problem with the website.

Thank you very much for your persistence and your note for others who might also have this problem. It was extremely helpful to me because I had exactly the same problem that my Video deluxe 2023 Premium did not activate the MPEG-2 codec. Now that I have deleted the registry entry, it works. Thank you very much for thinking of others too! 👍🙏🙋♂️
