Takeshi Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 It'd be meaningful to ask if something is best only if you say for what purpose. I don't quite comprehend why you guys would want something that will play/decode all the formats in the universe. Do you really watch videos encoded with all the available formats?Why not just pick the codec for your particular purpose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reino Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 FFDShow - though it is technically a "direct show filter pack" and not a codec pack and i also use MPlayer frontend MPUI.You're half right.ffdshow is a DirectShow and VFW codec for decoding/encoding many video and audio formats, including DivX and XviD movies using libavcodec, xvid and other opensourced libraries with a rich set of postprocessing filters.Most people will of course us it for decoding purposes, but you can also encode stuff via VFW with VirtualDub for instance.

LLXX Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 (edited) FFDShow - though it is technically a "direct show filter pack" and not a codec pack and i also use MPlayer frontend MPUI.Well all my codecs (including ffdshow) are DirectShow filters so I don't see any disadvantage there... besides, DirectShow is flexible and you can encode/decode things easily via GraphEdit. (Yes, DirectShow can be used for encoding as well.) Edited October 2, 2006 by LLXX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-= Mancubus =- Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 My choice is K-Lite MegaCodecPack. Its stable, and covers 99% of my codec needs. I also usually install RAD splitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
