Codecs for Windows XP and Vista 6.5.3

Codecs for Windows XP and Vista (formerly Vista Codec Package) takes the best codecs and settings and allows playback of DVDs and other movie formats in Windows Vista. Vista Codec Package is a set of filters and codecs that will allow you to view your favourite video and audio files. Codecs have been a problem for most users at one time or another. This is because there has never been an 'out of the box' working solution that the average computer user could install and just have everything work properly from the beginning. The installer will automatically remove most other popular codec packs from your computer before installing this concise yet comprehensive Windows Media Center setup package. You won't need to make any adjustments or tweaks to enjoy your Windows Media Center content immediately. Windows Media Player and Vista Media Center will instantly recognize all your files as playable.

It does not contain a media player and it does not associate file-types so if you choose this codec pack, you might want to grab the latest version of Media Player Classic Classic as well. With the Vista Codec Package installed you will be able to use any media player, limited only by the players' capabilities, to play all movies and video clips. Streaming video is supported in several formats in all popular web browsers. Users of Windows Vista Codec Package have the ability to choose what is installed and where to install it using the public redistributable. After installation you can select to remove specific portions without removing the entire codec package. You can also re-add the removed items at any time.

The following filetypes are enabled and SUPPORTED by the installation of the Vista Codec Package: amr, mpc, ofr, divx, mka, ape, flac, evo, flv, m4b, mkv, ogg, ogv, ogm, rmvb, xvid. All of the filetypes can be queued to the Windows Media Player Playlist using a right-click.
