ApowersoftMediaTools.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like ApowersoftMediaTools.dll, 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. Streaming Video Recorder) could share the same ApowersoftMediaTools.dll 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 DLL 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 ApowersoftMediaTools.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Streaming Video Recorder is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common ApowersoftMediaTools.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - ApowersoftMediaTools.dll.
- ApowersoftMediaTools.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Apowersoft\Streaming Video Recorder 6\ApowersoftMediaTools.dll.

Your ApowersoftMediaTools.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Streaming Video Recorder), or deleted by a malware infection.

Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
