that ones pretty good,

id just use VLC (video lan client) though its much simpler and has everything built in http://www.videolan.org/

VLC is the best media player available. It plays *everything* from *anywhere*. I mean, from disc, from HDD, from streaming media... it'll even stream media for you.

:wub:

It's maintained by the anime community and kicks arse.

Use mplayer and you'll never need separate codecs. And yeah, I know I'm suggesting to eliminate the problem rather than solving it, but whatever works...

I use VLC but I still like being able to play videos in Winamp and/or Realplayer

i use quicktime alternative and real alternative with media player classic to playback realmedia files (and quicktime files) have you tried that ? i wouldnt install another real media product, i feel the same way about adobe's bloatware (can use foxit reader for pdf's and GIMP for picuture editing)

the k-lite codec pack is not recommended, use the CCCP instead. I preferred just to use WMPC when I used windows, simple and did everything needed, as long as you have codecs installed such as the ones from CCCP. VLC and mplayer are also good clients but I've never used VLC much.

These days the only video codecs you really need are MPEG-2, MPEG-4 (XviD), and AVC.

Along with all the ones built in already, like windows media and mpeg-1, of course.


XviD is free and can be found here:

x.264 is the most widely used free AVC codec:

MPEG-2 decoding only:

If you have your heart set on a pack there's no reason to use any one but CCCP.
