Don't install a codec unless you need it AND if it can be uninstalled by ADD/REMOVE programs. I've only manually installed ffdshow, AC3Filter and the Intervideo DVD decoder. I had serious problems in the past with codec packs causing conflicts and degrading my video and audio quality. Recommended programs are Zoomplayer and WMPClassic6.4.8.4 and you are pretty well covered. I also use the regular Windows Media Player (which actually will use the ffdshow filter when needed) and Musicmatch Jukebox Plus (although there are lots of free audio programs that work well) http://www.free-codecs.com/

@robertguda Did you (or your antivirus) invent that virus? :) Don't post stupid things! The package is clean.

Alot of redundant and obsolete codecs as well as a few that can be harmfull to your system. If yer going to install DivX 5 you DO NOT need DivX ;-) 3.11 and infact DivX 5 will over write it and take controll over DivX 3 files. Further if yer installing FFDShow you do not need DivX 5. You dont need XviD either but FFDShow can use it's .dll file as an alternative so theres no harm in having it. huffyuv is also redundant if yer using FFDShow. Just to name a few... Codec packs suck and yer better off just geting the codecs you need and installing them yerself. I decided to go with a neutral rating of 3 rather then the 1 I feel it deserves (as all codec packs deserve) just to be fair as others opinions of codec packs differ.

The Codecs changes Windows System files when installing. If you haven't an install CD it will be not possible to play any movie if you want to uninstall this buggy pack. Plus, the forum support is completely unusufull. The author doesn't answer...
