What are MPADecoder.ax Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library MPADecoder.ax Errors

MPADecoder.ax is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like MPADecoder.ax, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like MpSigStub.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Pinnacle Video Spin) could share the same MPADecoder.ax file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.

Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared AX file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when MPADecoder.ax is attempted to be loaded either when Pinnacle Video Spin is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common MPADecoder.ax errors include:

Your MPADecoder.ax file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Pinnacle Video Spin), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, MPADecoder.ax file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Pinnacle Video Spin, system crash while loading MPADecoder.ax, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

How to Fix MPADecoder.ax Errors in 3 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your MPADecoder.ax issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.


Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

To begin System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

  1. Hit the Windows Start button

  6. Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the MPADecoder.ax error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed Pinnacle Video Spin (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling Pinnacle Video Spin software.

  2. In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying MPADecoder.ax to your appropriate Windows system directory. Pinnacle Systems Inc. typically does not release Pinnacle Video Spin AX files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer.
