Codecs and Codec Packs


If you want to know what codec pack to use for playing or encoding media files you've come to the wrong place. In fact, I don't recommend the use of any codec pack as more times than not they end up messing up the computer in one way or another.

What I recommend is that you install a few basic codecs, listed below, and that you use a file analyzer to identify supplementary codecs you might need when you come accross peculiar video files.

Basics
The following is a list of basic things I recommend you install:

Video
DivX 6.4
DivX 3.11 Alpha
AC3 Filter
FFD Show
Mpeg 2 Codec
ON2 VP7
Quick Time 7.1.3
VobSub 2.23
XviD 1.12

Audio
MPEG Layer 3
Lame 3.97
DivX Audio 4.02
OGG Vorbis

Links
The following is a list of sites which should help you find codecs you need and other codec-related tools:
