MaveriK Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Look for ACEMCP593SELECT and install it. Download and install the latest divx and xvid codecs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd_t Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 i usually just download the latest divx, seems to do the job for most things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 My best advice would be don't bother with a lot of these "codec packs". ffdshow will play most things... http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=173941&package_id=199421 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 cool, was gonna use the ace pack but i dojnt really like it to be honest. i'll give this a go I'm always suspicious of these "packs", who knows what they include. I'd be particularly worried about installing some randomly named exe such as ACEMCP593I'mgoingtoh4x0ryourcomputerSELECT.exe when there's no real info out there about it.

Thorin Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I think I pretty much just have ffdshow, latest divx (although ffdshow will play back Divx/xvid etc. quite happily), and the matroska splitter (http://haali.cs.msu.ru/mkv/) for playing .mkv files. ...oh and AC3Filter, as it's better for playing back AC3 audio apparently but it's not really needed. http://ac3filter.net/projects/ac3filter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
