x64 codecs

iviv · 11 May 2008 at 15:36

I'm looking for a good codec pack to stick on my 64 install of Vista. Now, I've always used the CCCP as I watch a fair ammount of anime, which its designed for. But I remember seeing people reccomend something else, but the name escapes me. I'm looking for something that'll play all the main avi types and mkv's mainly.

Thankee

Is there anything like the above for XP x64? I used to use Vista x64 and have moved to XP x64...

I was thinking about ffdshow x64 (nightly build from sourceforge), just wondered if that was the overall consensus (as would rather not have a codec pack) and if it will generate thumbs in XP x64?

Anybody?

im using the ffdshow x64 and its the only set of codecs which work with media centre. Installing 32 bit codecs doesnt work with media centre for some reason.

Im using the clsid build (rev1975)

How about thumbnail generation in explorer, does that work? This is for XP x64 by the way, not Vista.

Righto, i got ffdshow64 on and have added explorer.exe to the "use with" list, and it generates thumbnails!

Only problem is most of them start with a black frame so nearly all the thumbnails are black! Is there a way to have it take the thumbnail a few frames in or when its not black?!
