SO fed up with having such a mish mash of codecs and having to keep swapping them around for diffferent files, so I kille dthem all. Can one of you fine chaps please recommend a decent codec pack etc for me to use. :matrix:

eh?

Gordian knot's set not good enough ?

when installing you can select wich pack of the divx 5 codec you wish to install......one can encode but installs GATOR on your hd...

I unselect both versions - I just later Installl a hacked DIx5 pack...

for all other codecs ( well, except ogg. files) ---> GKNOT !

Now where's that darn link .....

I always install everything I feel may be needed from NIMO codec pack. I assign Divx3 to be played by DivX3, DivX4 by DivX4 and DivX5 by DivX5. Then I install everything from ffd show.

I haven't experienced problems with ANY movie for over a year.

I started with nimo about a year back, then had a few probs so I ripped out the parts that caused trouble and replaced em with other shit I found, they finally gave up 2day, only thing I do was hear WMA files LOL

Install in order

WMP Codecs - If you don't have XP.
XVid
Divx 3.11
AC3 66b

ah, i get everything working except for ogg files. ive used that ace codec mega pack recently, and it seems to have some conflicting files with some of my video/graphics programs i use. i will try satan's above, as i really want to watch the futurama oggs i have.

Been doing the same as satan for a long time. Works on everything I need. One exception: 69b on the ac3. Use composite out and digital coax. from notebook to reciever. Use power dvd with clone cd virtual drive for bin/cue, windows mp for everything else. The less I have to put on the notebook and still get great results the happier I am. I stay away from the packs since I always had trouble out of them.

Damn those codecs.
