I have never had a video i could not play with this setup. Neither alternatives are "codecs", they're decoders...a codec encodes and decodes data. Not that this is relevant or in any way important...but I'm a big fan of video encoding (DivX usually) and I hate to see things called codecs when they're nothing but glorified filters :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know about nimo codecs pack 5 but it has basics like mpeg3 mpeg4 and divx etc... If any one knows a pack please tell me where i can get it. Firstly, find out what codec you need...search google for "GSpot"...it's a program which will open a video file and tell you what audio/video codec is required to play the video and whether you can play it. Next, *don't* download these "all-in-one" sets like Nimo...they install unnecessary codecs that you won't use in your lifetime and which not only take up HD space but they slow your PC down (not much, of course...but have you ever played a video and watched as it takes minutes rather than seconds to play? Now you know why :-)) http://www.doom9.org/ is one of my favourite sources for codecs (note they *also* have some codec packs and you might find the one you want :-) If you're after a specific codec and can't find it, look in GSpot for its FourCC code (the 4 digit ID...like DivX 3.11 is Div3 :-)) and search on https://www.google.de/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=BwkjVKfAD8uH8QfckIGgCQ&gws_rd=ssl for it with the word "codec" after...if you still can't find it, post here telling me the FourCC and I'll go look :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gta 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2004 Ok so i got the klitecodec pack and i'm giving it a try. The features sound good. It sounds a litle werd though because it says klite so one would expect it would be only for cazaa lite. I hope it works for everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
