Codec pack

Post by phaseman »

What is a good Codec pack to install, or would not recommend a Codec pack but rather install individual players?

Is anyone using CCCP?

The problem with codec packs is that they are usually thrown together with the aim of quantity, rather than quality. More often than not, codecs contains in them will conflict either with one another or with codecs already on the computer. So we normally recommend against installing the whole pack. The better idea is to have an idea which codecs you might need, then identifying only those in a codec pack and downloading and installing just them.
