K-Lite Mega Codec Pack 2.01. it's the most hassle-free codec pack i've ever used. many people swear by CCCP but i just don't see that it has any advantages.
both packs are both very comprehensive in terms of codecs supported. however, i have been screwed over by k-lite in the eary days and never went back.Quote:

Second for k-lite as a codec pack and vlc as a media player btw. Both have all the codecs ive ever needed and ive never had a problem with any formats.
err.... just a quick question, why?Quote:

I just prefer vlc ... i couldnt comment on subtitles as this have never been an issue for me as im far from deaf and rarely ever watch any foriegn films whatsoever
thanksi 'm downloading it otoo
I just install divx, xvid, and ac3. Everything seems to play okay for me. I also use GSpot if a media file doesn't play correctly. Any advantage to using one of the above codec packs?
well, it really depends on what you watch and how much you watch it. when you install a codec pack you're pretty much guaranteed that every media file imaginable will play on your PC. it will also let you tweak just about everything and anything. Media Player Classic, which comes with both the above mentioned codec packs is a really good media player. it's simple and lightweight yet it's still highly configurable. however, if you haven't yet noticed any shortcomings with the software you use now, then you're good to go. give it a try though, you might be pleasantly surprised.Quote:

and it kinda fudge my system up..
when I brows my files and if I highlight a file.. itwould give my explorer an error (while trying to get a preview pic on the left side of the window) and close it.
that happens with some video but it's annoying..
:confused:
Ive personally never suffered that prob from k-lite rimmer ... how odd?!
I think I have alot of stuff in my system and at the time it's been 2 years since a fresh install of my xpQuote:
