XP Codec Pack is Useful for the Everyday users who just want to play around with Vids & Audio & couldn't care less about AR's, BitRates, Quality etc. Maybe even to use WinMovieMaker to it's full Extent. For the Guys who drop into this category then XP-Cpack is worthy of 5*
If you trawl the Web for Anything & Everything or want to get into Serious ripping, transcoding, Re-Encoding etc. Cover your Asses with one of the Big-Boy Codec packs. They contain Every A/v codec you should need, Tweeking tools, & in some cases, Obsolete codecs are also available. You won't go much wrong with: http://fileforum.betanew...-Pack_Beta/1080441198/1
For the real Serious or Wannabee's .. h**p://free-codecs.com

You two are being closed-minded zealots regarding this codec pack. It is not a "kitchen sink" pack, and in fact has little a sane person would find objectionable. Not only that, you can opt not to install certain items.

@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.

The link takes you to an outside page instead of letting you download it from the BetaNews server.
When you are redirected to that page, you are not directed to the 2.2.0 Build 482 Beta, but instead directed to download 2.1.6.
Not very helpful at all.

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.
DudeBoyz reviewed v2.1.5 Build 418 on May 30, 2007
Again, glad to see the update. Kind of slow in terms of releases and updates, but I guess given the lack of updated codecs, it can be understood.
Thanks for the release.

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

I continue to use and appreciate this pack. Seems to really work well with Xvid encoded tv shows and such, so perhaps that's why I stick with it. Just gets the job done.

in response to this one:
"DudeBoyz, i'll try to answer. This codec pack is the true & popular one we all know, and i guess the other pack is trying to copy the name and logo. Just some kind of pishing. Stick to "XP Codec Pack"."
if you have no idea what are you talking about, please don't !
you are making false accusations !!!
the other pack you are talking about - X Codec Pack - is in fact older than XP Codec Pack. you can check this info. nobody is trying to copy the name and/or logo or whatever.
but if you are saying that one of them is copying the other one, it is not X Codec Pack. and trust me because i am one of the developers of X Codec Pack. i chat with the developers of XP Codec Pack and nobody, i repeat, NOBODY is trying to copy the other one.
and if you still don't believe me, ask them ! you will get the same answer !
the websites of both packs are hosted by fre3.com. think !
the packs are different, they do not contain the same thing.
again, think before you open your mouth !
you are free to use what software do you like.
and to close this one, XP Codec Pack is a great codec pack. you can use it and recommend it ! i do.

The_Zeroorez, you cannot compare this with VideoLAN because VideoLAN is not a codecpack :)
Anyhow, this one is great.
