Codec Decoder Pack

Codec Decoder Pack is a collection of codecs that can be deployed on your system in order to play audio and video formats, such as AVI, AAC, APE, DIVX, FLV, FLAC, MKV, M2TS, MP3, MP4, MPEG, M4V, MOV, OGG, WMV, and XVID.

How it works

Getting your hands on all audio and video codecs included in the package requires only a simple installation process that can be carried out just as if you were deploying a software program on your computer. Basically, you need to press a few next buttons in order to bring the task to an end.

Different types of installation modes

Codec Decoder Pack gives you the possibility to choose between several installation options from a drop-down list, namely Recommended, Minimum, Full or Custom.
The Full option deploys all available codecs in your package, while the Recommended and Minimum ones come with preselected codecs. The Custom one offers you the freedom to manually include/exclude codecs in/from the package.
In case the name of a codec doesn’t tell you much about it, you can hover your mouse over the target codec in order to get a short description about its capability.
Additionally, the application is able to automatically calculate the space required for installing the selected components on your system.

Supported codecs

Codec Decoder Pack supports audio (e.g. AC3 Filter, LAME MP3 Filter, FLAC Audio Filter), DVD/SVCD filters (InterVideo DVD/SVCD, CyberLink DVD/SVCD, CDXA Reader), FFDShow DirectShow audio and video filters, video codecs and filters (e.g. DivX component, XivD encoder), source splitters and filters (FLV, Haali Media Splitter, RealMedia Splitter), and subtitle filters. Additionally, you can make the application automatically update your codecs.

Bottom line

All things considered, Codec Decoder Pack provides a straightforward software solution for helping you install multiple codecs at the same time, so as to be able to play video and audio files on your favorite media player.
