@roj: I agree completely & have said this for years. All you really need are DivX, XviD & AC-3 Audio... it is highly unlikely that you will need anything else..not including Real or QT.

IMNSHO, codec packs are a complete and often dangerous waste of time. Pick the codecs you absolutely need, download the latest versions and install them. Upgrade them only if absolutely necessary - don't jump just because a new version comes out. Your system will run cleaner and give far less grief. I personally have been using that methodology for years (in my case it's a grand total of 6 codecs, not all of them the latest and greatest versions) and I've never been sorry. I have however seen the results of using the codec packs and their scattershot approach on the machines of various friends and associates. Many have come crying to me to fix various foibles caused by this type of crap and my advice is always the same: Reformat and start over. Apply some intelligent and constructive thought to your particular situation and you won't need rubbish like this. ONE star for a genre (Cidec Packs) that is FAR more trouble than it's ever been worth.

I have to give it a five thumbs down. It wouldn't install after two tries.

Microsoft, won't ever wake up, and smell what it's shoveling. However Microsoft did this, then windows wouldn't need to update every month.

Caused mpeg and wmv problems. Worst part was when I uninstalled, it made things worse. This is, with 2.06, a quagmire.
