I've been playing with codecs for more than 25 years and I still don't understand how or where they operate or how each program uses them. I have found that when new software is installed, it can take over how a codec is used by an older installed software. Reinstalling the old software usually fixes that problem. Clicking around in the Organizer may have changed some registry entry, but that is pure guesswork on my part. Or perhaps Handbrake installed the required codec.

So, no, I can't give you any explanation for what has happened on your machine. The important part is that everything is now working for you. Put it down to the invisible computer genies. 😁
