theres only a sticky in the auto multimedia forum....

OK, I MIGHT be retarded but do i need to install it into any particular directory?

Codec- or a term used to describe "Code and Decode" is what allows your machine to read a video format.

There's lots out there- windows media, divx, ace, and 1000s of others.

http://download.technet.cz/sw_mp3soft/klcodec205f.exe ( 8 MB) is a good codec PAK. theres just about everything in there you need to see.

I personally didn't download that exe- so I claim no warranty to the results of your system by installing said codec pak.
make sure you have virus scanners up. But, its on a Checz technet site- so i imagine its legit.

yea, i know about the sticky
i tried this one and it didn;t seem to work for me, but i don;t really know much about codecs so i may have done it wrong
your post is from feb of 2004 too so i thought there was something new

eh, at least i posted my question in the right forum...
mad hate-o-raid

so if you get codecs, do you need to run the media player classis? or should the codecs work with whatever media player you usually use??

The codec installs itself and you can use any media player. They include MPC so you have something.
