Well.. yeah i know confusingly tough decision to make on this one now

Happy Hunting
cheers

 

[swatkat]

ACE Codec Pack has ALL the codecs, but i doubt we need all those codecs.....although i prefer no codec packs at all (apart from the essentials like DivX, QuickTime, Real etc which are bundled with thier players or vice versa)...

 

[atool]

thats an impressive collection m8 !

 

[psappuin]

great work done Mr.

 

[svk]

i prefer K Lite mega codec pack. it works anything to everything.

 

[quad master]

I will go with
Klite Codec Pack Full not the Mega Codec Pack

I have seperately Downloaded QuickTime & Real Alternative.

I install the Alternatives only if i dont have QT & Real Players installed.

Mostly i install Real Player Gold & QuickTime 6.5.2 so no need of the
alternatives also.

So its Klite Codec Pack 2.36 Full for me.

Those who want a one stop solution go for Klite Mega Codec Pack
MplayerC within the Klite Pack can play all your files.

havent tried Ace Pack and never will as all my needs are fulfilled
with Klite

 

[shwetanshu]

Yeah Klite Full fulfills all my needs also, digit shud include all these codecs, so we dont have to download these

 

[PrinceHeart]

not GOOD !!!

Lots of posts, but just 3 votes ???

These codec packs are not that bad - that they don't deserve any voting.

Come on guys.

 

[gxsaurav]

hmm, I use seperate codecs as I don't need much of them

for online streaming I use Quicktime
For mpeg2, I use nvidia DVD decoder
For TV Media portal, recording in DivX 5.21
Audio, Mp4 AAC

 

[Sourabh]

i use only aCe mEdIa cOdEcS PaCk

and it simply rocks

so easy on the system, u dun have to install anything else

also i downlaod movies/clips from emule networks , i usually require it

 

[enoonmai]

K-Lite, I'm yet to see anything better.

 

[koolbluez]

Klite Mega... dunno about others... will try others if DIGIT includes then in the nxt CD

 

[DKant]

koolbluez[UNQUOTE]

Same here.

 

[Charley]

klite is gud

 

[qarch]

Very good stuff. In anticipation of the unanticipated. How about links to the stuff, huh? Max three lines only?

 

[rajkumar_personal]

What's the use of installing so many codecs on a machine !
Just the important ones will do
So many of them might slow the machine down ( I donnu how, but it might)
