| 1229464 | 2011-09-07 22:51:00 | I'm not a fan of codec packs either, you tend to get a mix of out of date and current codecs and multiple codecs that can do the same job as well as ones you'll never need. Usually I only install specific codecs as needed or occasionally I've given in and used FFDShow which covers most things. +1 for VLC, I do use media player but anytime it gives me grief or is missing a codec I just use VLC. |
