With Vista Codec Package installed, you won't need to install any other codec or filter. Many user suggested default settings are implemented. It does not contain a media player. It does not associates filetypes. With this package installed you will be able to use any media player (limited only by the players capabilities) to play DVD's, movies and video clips of any format. Streaming video (real and quicktime) is supported in web browsers. Visit the homepage to get a 64bit Addon which enables xvid, divx and DVD playback in Vista's MediaCenter.

    Actually you don't have to bother installing this codec pack by risking a computer crach, as long as you have this already DRM Media Converter and Protected Music Converter which work for all kinds of popular music video movie formats --- including M4P, M4B, M4V, WMV, ASF, WMA, MP4, M4A, AVI (Divx/Xvid), MOV, 3GP, 3G2, CD.dat, DVD.vob, h.264, HD(.m2ts; .tp; .trp; .ts), HD(.mp4; .wmv; .asf; .mpg; .vob; .mov; avi), DV, NSV, NUT, Real audio & video(.rm; .ra; .ram; .rmvb) FLV, FLAC, AIFF, SWF, MPG, MP3, AC3, OGG, APE, AAC, WAV, MKV, MKA, etc.

    Or this set of DVD ripping & authorzing tools --- DVD Ripper + Video Converter Pro to rip DVD and convert audio & video with amazing output quality; DVD Copy to decrypt the CSS region protection and copy DVD to ISO or backup DVD to another DVD Disc, DVD9 to DVD9, DVD5 to DVD5 and DVD5 to DVD9 without quality loss; DVD Creator to burn your own DVD by merging all kinds of my own audio & video files.

    Thank god for people like alexander_mundy.
    With his report of a FALSE POSITIVE out in the open,
    the package creator can no longer find out your shoe size.

    Mcafee is working with me towards a solution. Nod32 is still blinded.
    Most other antivirus companies already have this issue under control.

    Do not, I repeat do not download this program. They boast that it is a free codec program, but with the codecs you also get a free trojan_downloader. This has happened to me more than once. Pass along the word, because scams like this have to be stopped somehwere. I wish there was a regulatory agency for online companies, but there isn't so this is the only way to get the word out. The internet is full of scams, it should be regulated somehow and scamming companies should be closed.

    Galifray, FLV thumbs was the source of crashes for some, but not all people. For stability, I have disabled FLV thumbs by default and have also enabled the user to turn them on through the Settings Application.
    Have a look in the MISC TAB.

    I wonder if this update (5.2.9) is really more stable, it does not seem to be, as it has lost the ability to generate thumbnails for Flash Video (.flv) files. It plays them just fine, but even changing the display options won't correct the issue.
