far Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 When playing some movies in Windows media player etc I get the message saying I do not have a particular codec - anyone know the location of a safe codec pack I can download from somewhere which resolves this without putting malware/adware on my PC as I've read some codec pack download sites send you nasties too;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shovels Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 hey far, How's tricks mate. I think I used this (or similar) for my Vista setup http://www.free-codecs.com/download/XP_Codec_Pack.htm Seems to work fine. Cheers, Neal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozz Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I always use the ACE megacodecs pack from t'internet. It comes with media player classic which I find much better to use for downloaded movies. Never had a problem with spy/adware but it does install a shed load of components.

cheekymonkey Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 What about VLC guys? I'm not a Windows person but on the mac it plays anything I throw at it, and it apparently does run on Windows too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
