I used this codec pack in my UA cd. but i'm still looking for another one I found here last summer, this one had also quicktime and realplayer decoders so I could view everything in one player. Compared both my system32 folders (with older UA cd) and found out there is a RealPlayer and a QuickTime folder that are not in this codec pack, but all the other files are the same (but updated version since then). Is it another driver pack or missed a link and downloaded a light version? I dont' speak german so maybe I made a mistake the last 3 times i downloaded it...

I thought it was maybe on astalavista's topic he posted a couple posts back, but the link is not working.

If it can help someone remember, i had to play in the batch file to change the path cause the original codec pack was made for zoomplayer cause the codec-pack maker used that software but he had provited the correct line to replace for the ppl who wanted it to be installed for WMP.

And also, codec.cmd was much longer than the one provided here, the one posted in mine from the codec pack. but strangely it registers with codecreg.reg and all the rest seems similar except for the quicktime and realmedia folders and extended support.

CODE

removed cause question answered and it was way too long for this page

Early on in this thread, the Quicktime and Real Player elements were removed.

Real Alternative and QuickTime Alternative are better ways to integrate Quicktime and Real Player.

Oh, thanks for the update

I also noticed that there is no file association either in the new codecs.cmd. I guess this is because they are automatically supported with media player classic that comes with real alternative and quicktime alternative?

BTW, the credit for most of the above work belongs to SiMoNsAyS and his Registering Extensions Unattended.

I also suggest you check out CoRoNe's DirectShow Filter Pack. Instead of putting them into the Program Files folder as he suggests I added them to my $OEM$\$$\System32 folder and included the registering w/codecs.cmd.

Well afaik it doesn't make any difference and I'd like to keep it well organized.
I associate many filetypes with Zoom Player afterwards

(perhaps some of you are wondering why I haven't updated my package in the meantime...that's simply because there aren't any updates of those filters I uncluded, at least nothing special)

Its pretty **** good. and silent parameters work like a dream.

Thanks for the recommendation there X-Ecutioner

I've been working on a Silent Install GUI to help the process of silent installs of the Advanced Codec Pack from my site, you guys may get some idea's from it.

The GUI mirrors the component selection page in the installer, making selection simple and easy to understand (sort of).

It works by creating an ini file for the actual installer to read, then creates a simple .cmd file to open the installer in full silent mode, it detects if the codec pack isnt in the same directory and if it isnt it will download it for you.

In the actual installer I added detection for the ini file and also the mode in which the installer has been executed (if it's been double clicked and the ini file is present it will ask if the user wishes to switch mode to silent or continue with the unsilent option).
If the .cmd file was executed then the full silent mode will be used.

Thanks, it's always nice to get feedback.

The DivX Pro encoder features a trial option for 180 days, after which the encoder will switch to standard features (with no adware), you can register it if you wish though.

I'll be updating the silent install page on the main site soon.

At a later date I'll release a package to support RealMedia and QuickTime.

Oct 2 2005, 03:14 PM

I don't want to sound like a party pooper, but is there a specific reason why people have now started both complaining about this codec pack work and hijacking the thread with their alternate suggestions.

Noone's saying you have to love it or even download it, noone's saying that the pack is greater than any other marketed product. However if the criticism is anything other than constructive keep it to yourself. If the alternatives are as good as you say they are, start another thread.

I'm not 'buddies' with swgreed, and I currently do not use the pack, I just think that if I had put the hard work in in the first place and people started having off topic discussions about other products in the middle of my thread, I would begin to get a little upset.

I hope you understand my point!

This thread goes back about 1 1/2 yrs.

Personally, i started out with this pack almost from its inception.
I havent even read this thread in months because of the clutter.
I stilll use this pack as a basis for my own build of codec/filter pack.

thanks swgreed.

Oct 2 2005, 03:31 PM

I agree with Shark. I periodically check this thread to see if Swgreed has updated his pack.

Nothing beats the raw CoDecs. I hate installers, packagers or wrappers of any sort.

I placed a link to the details in a post on my forum, not my main site.
I didn't provide a direct download link to either packages.
I didn't even name the site or give the full name of the package.
I know about this thread because I've been emailed a few times about it.
I only replied to questions directed at me.

Oct 2 2005, 03:55 PM

I think Yzöwl is just suggesting that you create a new thread with regards to your CoDec Pack and mabe direct people to that thread instead of hi-jacking this thread.

Oct 2 2005, 04:06 PM

Sorry, everyone just seems to have misunderstood my post, it's not about my packages, its about some of the ideas I used for silent installs, my method is different and more complicated to initially produce but simpler for the end user.

I was just giving some input.

I've also noticed an error...

Here:

the value is not present.

HKCU,Software\DivXNetworks\DivX4Windows,"Smooth Playback",0x10001,1

is that correct?

and sorry again, but i try to find if something is wrong.

I've noticed that this is the line in codecreg.reg
;OGM no trayicon
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{F07E245F-5A1F-4D1E-8BFF-DC31D84A55AB}\Defaults]

HKLM,%SCC%\{F07E245F-5A1F-4D1E-8BFF-DC31D84A55AB}\Defaults,ShowTrayIcon,0x10001,0

is this the same?

uncommend that line only, if you want to encode videos with divx.
(this means, you already own the divx.dll "pro" that is not free of charge)
however, I prefer XviD

Kapo

Nov 22 2005, 06:27 AM

i think gspot is a great tool, and media player classic
is already installed (two time) with the altternative codecs.

So my opinion is to leave that pack as is.

englishmen

Nov 22 2005, 06:57 AM

Yes but if you have this codec pack why would you have an alternative codec pack, you wouldn't there for you will still have to get mpc separately. Can someone who knows hows just tell me how to remove gspot and add mpc so i can do it myself, cheers.

I read this very long topic and I'm confused ...

My needs are very simple :
- Install a good codec pack
- Install Media Player Classic (Not English version but French version which is available on SourceForge)
- Install Quick Time alternative (or similar) plugin for Firefox (maybe in the codec pack ?)
- Install this package in silent mode (In my unattended Windows) from a compressed file (my XP CD is nearly full)
What advise me?
Thank's

for codecs packs, i think K-Lite Mega Codec Pack is good and maybe is the pack, and can be installed silently with *.inf method (look for the official site, there is an explaination for silent install in the FAQ).
it's about ~20Mb.

or Directshow filters, it's the same but they need less space (but u need to add MPC after manually).
it's about ~3Mb (+ 15Mb if u add real aternative & quicktime alternative & MPC).

20~30MB,my god,too big

i just want to make a mini os in my 220mb disc

how can i fixed these code into it ?
