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.

    IakovK, there is nothing rude about informing you that the fact that you choose to turn off UAC is causing your issue. It is your computer and your choice.

    ERROR 1152: When a compressed network image (single compressed setup.exe) is launched, the files compressed within it will be extracted to the TEMP folder and launched from that location. If one or more files cannot be extracted, then error 1152 occurs.

    this product doesn't work for me at all: when running its installation file (VistaCodecs_v547.exe), the cryptic error appeared - described in the product forum:
    http://shark007.net/foru...ead-Error-1152?pid=4311
    but the broken download is not my case. I reported it in that topic and got some rude responses from the author - none of them had any hint about the issue.

    So, I wasn't able to use the product.

    This Codec package works like a champ on your Legacy and New machines.
    I tried that pack with the letter K. K must be for Krash.
    Uninstalled and replaced with the Vista pack and never ran into any
    problems again.

    The Vista Codec package is installed in every machine image I build.
    Keep up the great work!

    Vista Codec is very good and deserves a 5.

    Overall, this is a good package though I wonder about some of the choices of settings. For example, ever since 5.3.x I've had problems with opening folders with incompletely downloaded video files. Explorer cpu usage would shoot up to 99 and all manner of freezes and crashing would happen. Fortunately, I figured out the problem is Xvid. It tries to create thumbnails and since the file is incomplete, it fails causing the Explorer issues. But I can disable Xvid and use the other demuxers just fine. So I will give it a five for having failsafe measures.
