I have no idea. I am really stratified with CCCP. Its stable, compact and supports a lot. The only things which aren't supported are realmedia and quicktime. When I need those I use real alternative and qt alternative. Or I just watch the film trailers on youtube

Shark's Windows 7 Codec Pack is more than enough for Windows 7 + you will be free to use any media player of your choice. You can also check Kantaris Media Player 0.6.4, KMP, VLC Player, and MPC-HC, which don't require you to install codec pack(s) to play common (mkv, mp4 etc.) media formats.

K-Lite is good, but contains too much filters even for those files types, which you have/will never played/play. This will also cause dependencies problems --> jerky play --> no audio etc. Always use necessary filters only. K-Lite Full/Mega is good for Windows XP but for Windows 7, Shark's Windows 7 Codec Pack is more than enough.

I've never had a problem with K-Lite, but then I use W2K3. Perhaps there are issues with W7, so thanks for the heads-up.

Well just recently found out Shark's 7 Codec pack, heh but I have been using VLC + CCP and MPC-HC as another alternative, but WMP12 also is a good player

Tried sharks 7 codec it works good with wmp12 displaying subtitles and stuff but not really familar with it (codec pack config), so I stuck with CCCP and VLC and MPC-HC..

If there are newer builds of MPC will I be able to update the 1 bundled with CCCP? If so how?

Thanks you guys, it's been a while since I've asked help here..

CCCP. I've never had a problem watching or viewing via PC / Ps3 or both my zunes.. Use the beta's that I've marked in the Anime Nation.. Their up to date, and I've never seen a problem watching anything threw that.

Either FFdShow alone or DivX+AC3 Filter. Nothing else. It also seems that DivX H.264 codec is pretty efficient. Not far behind CoreAVC really.

Every over-bloated pack is evil. Try to use as minimal number of codecs as possible.
Codec packs usually pack all sorts of stuff that you'll probably never need.

For 99,99% of videos you'll need:
- DivX (which can decode XviD and generic MPEG4 as well)
- AC3 Filter (for all the high quality movies)
- H.264 (for HD video, latest DivX includes this with MVK splitter, otherwise you need some other H.264 codec and splitter)

That's it. You don't really need anything else.

tje joys of CCCP - its not bloated.


its pretty much Xvid, FFDSHOW, haali and VSfilter - its pure minimum, but preconfigured to cover just about everything a codec pack legally can (its illegal to include quicktime, coreAVC or Real media codecs, like some packs do)

and i've never ran into a file type it couldnt play either.
