Which Codec?

Ever been confused and frustrated at not being able to play a video you just downloaded. Usually due to incompatible codec.

Being an avid Anime fan, I have tried dozens of codecs and lived thru the early days of divx, then xvid, now H.264. Not to mention OGM, and many more. Some codecs are just pure simple, but I've found that when you have too many on your system, it either starts conflicting with each other, or just simply sucks up all your CPU's juices...

Never fret! For I believe I have found an absolute charm when it comes to codec packs. Created by a group of fansubbers/encoders, this codec pack shall not disappoint! Try it out!

CCCP or Combined Community Codec Pack

Simply follow the FAQ. I'd HIGHLY recommend to do so. By all means, run that Insurgent, to be rid of all the debris and leftover bad codecs on your system before installing anew.

You'll be a happy camper to find that you're now able to practically play ANY file that you get off the net. (Of course Real Media & Quicktime and other commercial formats are not supported thru this codec. There are other workarounds :)

If you're wondering what players, I'd highly recommend the ZOOM player from InMatrix or the totally Open Source MPC (Media Player Classic).
