>From my experience, you do not need any codec packs for Win 7. And they do break things - for example, I remember reading somewhere that installing one of the codec packs (K-lite I think) completely breaks VC-1 playback in Windows 7, to the point where you need a re-install.
I would suggest that instead of a codec pack you just install the Haali media splitter and use either VLC or Gom player. That's all I've ever needed. --------------------------- Brian Weeden Technical Advisor Secure World Foundation <http://www.secureworldfoundation.org> Montreal Office +1 (514) 466-2756 Canada +1 (202) 683-8534 US On Sun, Oct 4, 2009 at 8:01 PM, maccrawj <maccr...@gmail.com> wrote: > I've seen CCCP, never used it since KLMCP has served me well.
