Posted on June 21, 2013April 17, 2017 By Reggie_Dentmore 169 Comments on Download MMDxShow.dll Fix the Cannot Read MMDxShow.dll Error

A Feature Article by Reggie Dentmore on LearnMMD.comDownload MMDxShow.dll … Direct Show cannot read MMDxShow.dll! There is not ‘MMDxShow.dll’ in ‘Data’ folder. Please download the newest ver. MikuMikuDance. I get an error about a missing DLL file when I try to render to AVI. MMD crashes when I try to render to AVI. My MikuMikuDance is missing MMDxShow.dll file.

My MikuMikuDance runs fine until I render to AVI …

An Experimental Fix for the
Cannot Read MMDxShow.dll Error

Download MMDxShow.dll …

Download MMDxShow.dll from LearnMMD.com ... Find it on the LearnMMD.com Downloads page!Download MMDxShow.dll from LearnMMD.com … Reggie’s personal copy of that missing DLL file.

As of this writing, Christmas Day, 2013, I do not know if downloading and installing this DLL file will solve the cannot read MMDxShow.dll file error problem; that’s why I call it “Experimental” … Please let us know if it works for you … leave a comment!

Start by renaming your old MMDxShow.dll file (if you have one). Name it something like orig_MMDxShow.dll so that you have the original file saved, if you need it later.

Then, Download MMDxShow.dll from LearnMMD.com‘s DOWNLOADS page. Unzip the folder and drop the new DLL file into your MMD DATA folder, as shown in the picture, above.

Close MMD (if you have it open) and start MMD. Make a quick test … render to AVI and see if it works … … Yes? … No? … PLEASE leave a comment to let us know how it works for you!

Editors Note 04/18/2017:
The MMDxShow error sometimes can be triggered by lack of necessary MS Visual C++ Redistributable packs. If you downloaded the proper .dll file from our page, placed it where it belongs, and still are getting the error, make sure that you have them installed as instructed.

      Hello… this issue has been around as long as MMD. I am sorry it’s not working for you, sometimes there is no answer. You will need to use another Codec. I searched for CODEC on LearnMMD.com and got these results… or you can Google it or maybe find MMD forum help. I am using UTvideo, myself… Sorry I have no more…

    Ok guys I got this problem and the way I fixed it is by moving the MMDxShow.dll file outside the Data folder and moved it to the same folder where the MikuMikuDance.exe is.
