Best codec pack?

[{I}{K}{E}]

ace is NOT good because it hasnt been updated in 2 years.

But it is still the best
Not that i use any packs.

why? all codecs are outdated...

95% of the codecs in that pack are never used

Thanks, I'll get myself up-to-date.

@mr.nails - what a beautiful day outside!!!

tru dat homie! i believe 78 w/no humidity or hardly any this morning... well, yesterday! lol, i-35 am traffic still sux ballz though!

klmcp is the only one i use and have used. even though the lack of 5.1.1 divx codec is starting to annoy me. guess i'll just use vlc to watch my anime.

But i still use Ace. Never gave me problems and i can play all the files.

Most important codecs are: divx, xvid, ac3; all other you can install either with codec packs or you test the movie and find out.
Ace has build-in anti-virus, it detects already installed codecs to avoid problems and besides that you don't need updates for all codecs cause movies rarly use newer codecs and lots of codecs don't get updated anyway. You can choose also what codec you want to install, soo you don't need to choose all codecs. For example divx 4.12 is still used much and with help of windows you can view movies also.

K-lite codec pack has all those options. the most used codecs are updated once in a while.

You dont need divx 4.12 if you have the latest version of Divx

Why does a codecpack need an antivirus option


ace pack:
XviD 1.1.0
DivX 5.20
AC3Filter 1.01a
Old version of quicktime and real players
old dvd decoders


K-lite:
XviD 1.2
DivX 6.2.5.34
AC3Filter 1.09a
Latest Quicktime & Real codecs
latest DVD decoders


Only media player that ACE has is BSPlayer 1.02 (latest version BSplayer: v2.11.940)
and there are many more outdated codecs on ACE

I don't use Codec Packs...I did once..when I didn't know any better....
but really, with just DivX, XviD & AC-3 Audio...you can pretty much play all thats out there....for me anyway.

EDIT: Guess I should have read Page 2 before posting

Out of date antivirus surely.

[Entity101]

Installing ACE will probably do more harm to your system that the average virus...
