What Codec (packs) are the best?

[BoardBabe]

I'm installing the latest K-lite mega codec pack, but it's not that good. I need support for real/qt and like the fact that they can play inn WMP10.

Is there any better codec packs or is it best to install one by one codec?

umm K-lite mega codec pack does contain the codecs needed to play Qt and RM files, if not use the media player of the gods, namely VLC

VLC Player

Its a stand alone player that has its own codecs built in it plays ANYTHING you throw at it

these codec packs are a pain. i've had trouble with many of them, especially when encoding. i've used the XP Codec Pack, ffDshow, WM10Lite, xVID, etc.. now i'm back to using the K-Lite FULL (not MEGA) pack which has recently been updated. this allowed me to uninstall ALL other codec packs and seems to be working well... so far.

Try Storm Codec 5. It has all the codec you'll ever need.

i dont do any encoding but the k-lite mega codec pack works great. very rarely though, qt files will display green instead of the video and a simple restart of media player classic will get them working again.

Try Satsuki Decoder Pack. I used to have k-lite pack but this one is smaller, he plays everything (qt,rm,avi,mkv,etc...), and doesn't use codecs, only filters.

This sounds like a good one; thank you. I am wondering if I get this or another decoder pack installed, do I need the application (qt / real) installed for the webbrowser to be able to do the streaming movies for quicktime and realplayer?

Well, I had been using ffdshow for some time now. I am confused with all this other talk. I downloaded the one that was above mentioned on the foreign site, but the file was corrupt. I am trying to do a WPI cd, and I want to make sure not to leave any importance out. What's the real deal on these codecs? Thanks

CodecPack AllinOne v6027

These guys make a tight codec pack.

However, this new version has a donation dialog box in the set up routine, yuK, tacky.

ANybOdy got info on SILENT install? (tried the usual switches, nada)
