which codecs for win7 (64bit)

_Jimlad_ · 8 Sep 2009 at 18:20

was using klite codec and may do again, but what's the peoples choice on here?

If you like K-lite, go for it.

I've tried it with Win7 64 bit, never had any problems and lets me play pretty much anything.

AC3 & DivX Tech Preview this way Media Center plays everything I throw at it!

Or just VLC/MPC-HC.

conmen codecs are included.

K Lite for the absolute loose. Shark 007 for the absolute win

CCCP for me, lightweight and haven't had any issues playing anything so far.

None....

Media Player Classic HC x64 plays EVERYTHING and using DXVA for HD streams.

Install QT Lite and the firefox WMP plugin to get embedded content working but other than that MPC-HC will play everything...

Deffo this if you plan to use Windows Media Center as your player.

Another vote for the Sharkies codec pack from me, tried the k-lite pack but had a few problems with previewing video in some utils.

Korean Media Player

What a codec pack? LOL

I've been using Shark 007 recently too, much better.

_Jimlad_ · 9 Sep 2009 at 09:24

ok thanks for the info guys, just use the basic shark 007 win7 drivers then?

robgmun · 9 Sep 2009 at 09:47

i install the latest Divx and Xvid codics, and then install the VLC player. Plays 99% of things out there

mrk · 9 Sep 2009 at 09:48

You do realise VLC will use its own DIVX decoder right? and DIVX decoder does XVID too

I have not installed any codecs yet in win7 and all my xvid/divx movies play just fine in wmp.

VLC is all you need.
