G Spot - How Many Codecs Do You Have ?

[digmen1]

When I run G Spot it says that have 34 codecs.

Is this a good number - how many do you have ?

[Java Boy]

I have the bare minumum..
theres no need to bloat your system with unneccessary codec packages.They just cause conflits at some stage or another

[digmen1]

Yes, but,

How many do you have ?

And what is the bare minium ?

I got:

49 video codecs
31 audio codecs

The less codecs you have installed the better video performance your PC will have.K-Lite Codec Pack is more than enough.Believe me...

[wienerschnitzel]

58 video
31 audio

Thanks for the numbers guys.

If as many people say the Kazaa Coedec Pack is all you need and if I install this will it install over any codecs I have now ?

Should I delete all the codecs I have now, then install the pack ?

Thanks

Yes mate .Uninstall the other ones first.

[digmen1]

Thanks I will uninstall them first.

A funny thing I just noticed.

As I say G Spot says I have 34 Video Codecs.

Yet when I go into Windows Control Pannel Multi Media Devices then look at the Video Codecs it lists only 15 !

What gives here ?

GSpot includes the VFW and the directshow codecs.
When you go at Windows Control Pannel,at Multi Media Devices,at the Video Codecs you only see the VFW codecs!
