I recommend that you go ahead and use the current pack. The only one I can think of off-hand that has been updated is the xvid codec (and qt/real). There may be others, but they would be trivial to update later.

xvid is famous for having re-installation issues, but I don't know that the problems occur when using packs like this. It could be limited to the xvid installer.

sir are we not going to have something like what was posted earlier ... some zipped file which has it all & that we could just extract to HFEXPERT\CODECS?

Kiki - This is why I don't create hfexpert automagically. Please read here. http://www.vorck.com/hfexpert.html.

have already read about this sir the very 1st time i encountered HFSLIP

kiki, the first thing I'll do is update the existing pack. AFter that, I'll be making separate zips for each codec for those who dont want to install everything.

I am packing my bags now and will be on the highway home soon. Hopefully my new eyeballs can get me through 13 hours of driving!

Where did you get them ?

I can't read your site !

Right now I am thinking of staying with the zip dump and then posting an addon pack version of the same fileset.

thanks Tain! precisely what i've been waiting for since this thread kinda slowed down!

Here is a new version of the pack.

Unattended installation:

Manually create HFSLIP\HFEXPERT\CODECS directory

Dump contents of pack into CODECS

thanks much Tain!

1 quick inquiry ... i see that HFSLIPCD.inf is no longer included?

don't we need this anymore?

TAiN & all, the first post was updated to show TAiN's simplified codec installation. Thanks TAiN!

@Kiki: That is only needed to uninstall the codecs. Do you need to do that?

nope!

sir, which specific driver pack did you use for this?

or you got all the latest file versions & came up w/ this pack?

your eyes seem to be doing great ... especially w/ all these files you have to pack!

Most credit goes to those references...I've just tweaked/updated/merged for our audience.

My eyes are still crappy. I didn't get the quick-healing LASIK; PRK takes longer to heal up. I've been lucky enough to have a good deal of time off of work because of the surgery and that time has allowed me to catch up on some projects like this.

works like a charm Tain!

i will have no need to install Codec Pack All in 1 6.0.3.0 or XP Codec Pack 1.3.4 or K-Lite Mega Codec Pack 1.53, correct?

thanks!

eagerly awaiting for your zipped codecs ...

Installing those other packs is up to you...if all of your movies play fine then there is no reason to install them. If you have movies that don't play then let me know and I'll see if we can fix the pack.

I put together some codec test movies to facilitate testing of this sort.

It will be another week or so on the separate packs. I am in the middle of a marathon work week right now but then I get a nice chunk of time off.
