Zup msfn'ers?

I reformated my pc and need to install some codecs again in the system. I've always heard that installing ANY codec pack can mess up your PC...as in codecs not actually working and then being unable to remove/reinstall. Once I had trouble with the AC3 codecs. The app Gspot said I had the codec installed and it would would with the vid I had but I could not listen to any vid's that contained that audio codec.

Fee-codecs has a boat load of different drivers like XP Codec Pack, Codec Pack All in 1, etc...

What do you recommend I install? I want to able to watch most (or all) types of videos that are available on the web.

Thanks,

klite mega codec 1.48 is the very best

k-lite all the way

I'll give K-Lite Codec Pack 2.67 Standard a try.

Anyone else have a different choice?

thanks again

ffdshow universal audio/video codec. It's the one I've been using. Seems to take very little CPU and mem.

ok, i installed the k-lite but I cant get audio from some avi's and wmv's?!?!? what the....?

got it...a simple uninstall and reinstalled solved it.

lets see how well it goes.

thanks alot

ffdshow here

download "ACE Mega CodecS Pack 6.03 - Professional Edition" from --

http://www.free-codecs.com/Codec_Packs.htm

It has everything in this pack that you will ever need.

...and need to install some codecs again in the system

Do you need any specific codecs? Because otherwise it's definitely not worth installing such a huge codecpack.

Free: VideoInspector 1.8.1.96 ,VLC (VideoLAN Client) 0.8.4b,Koepi's XviD Codec 1.2

Shareware B) :

CyberLink PowerDVD&CyberLink PowerEncoder MPEG4 AVC Edition (My Favorites )

or Nero7(100mb!..... )
