K-Lite Codec Pack

[Craig321]

Hi,

Just found the newest version of K-Lite on http://www.majorgeeks.com/K-Lite_Mega_Codec_Pack_d5230.html.

Just wondered if there's any rubbish (spyware/adware etc.) in this pack?

I've used it before and it's been fine but this is a newer version so it could have changed a bit.

Thanks,
Craig.

Euu...Use VLC media player, Real and Quicktime Alternative. You shouldn't need to install a single dirty codec from one of those packs

Am using VLC, Quicktime and Real Alternative at the moment but would just like to double click an AVI file and for it to open in WMP rather than having to right click>Open with>VLC.

But if codec packs are dodgy then I'll stay with what I have.

My main reason for wanting to install this codec pack is:

When I convert a video to AVI with that 3GP converter program it doesn't play in WMP which is pretty annoying.

Would be great if anyone knows a single codec that can be installed onto WMP to make it play AVIs created by 3GP converter ?

Thanks,
Craig.
