Proxy Codec64

Proxy Codec64 is a software application that provides users with a simple means of installing 32-bit video codecs on your 64-bit Windows 7, with a minimal amount of effort.

Straightforward environment

The installation process runs smooth and does not offer to make changes to your web browser or add new third-party products. The interface is quite plain, comprising of a menu bar, a few drop-down menus, multiple boxed and some buttons.
As a result, it becomes pretty clear that it can be used by both beginners and experienced people, without encountering any kind of issues.

Available codecs and applying them

This program comes packed with support for several codecs including Cinepak, Intel IYUV, Microsoft RLE, Microsoft Video 1, TechSmith Screen Capture, Google VP8 Video and Toshiba YUV.
These can all be selected from a drop-down menu which is going to bring up some data pertaining to them. It is possible to apply them with just a click of the button, while you can also input the time out duration (expressed in seconds).

Change language and a small drawback

The language can be changed from English to Japanese, while the Help file and the tool’s web page are only in Japanese, which is considered to be a small setback, as it could have helped novices found their way faster around Proxy Codec64.

A final assessment

The computer’s performance is not going to be affected at all by this program, seeing it does not require many system resources in order to run properly. The interface is intuitive, yet it could benefit from a bit more attention.
All things considered, it is safe to say that Proxy Codec64 is a useful piece of software for movies buffs, which presents a good response time. Our tests did not reveal any errors or crashes.
