It saved my butt! My video editor, VS Pro X5, suddenly could not play back a series of clips or an individual clip in "Project Mode, albeit it fumctioned in individual "Clip Mode" for individual clips." It looked to me like a codec problem. So, I ran the Codec Tweak Tool. After that, VS Pro X5 functioned as it should without error. Also, it backed up my codecs. A good must have tool.

Evidently it has a help file but when I hit the help button all I get is that it can't find wordpad. I put wordpad in the window folder, windows system 32,windows system and the folder that the program is in. Don't have any idea where it expects to find wordpad.
Other than that seems to work just fine just using the prechecked boxes

A changelog for new releases would be nice; what needs to change several times a year in a tool that does mostly registry and Directshow merit-based work?. Other than that an excellent program that behaves exactly as it promises to in fixing many codec configuration problems.
