With this codecs package installed you will be able to use any media player, limited only by the players’ capabilities, to play all movies and video clips. It does not contain a media player and it does not associate any file types. Windows Media Player and Media Center will instantly recognize all your files as playable. You won’t need to make any adjustments or tweaks to enjoy your media content immediately. The installer will automatically remove most other popular codec releases from your computer before installing this concise yet comprehensive package. If you’re tired of VLC freezing on you as well, you might want to hit the download links below and give CCCP a try.Shark007’s STANDARD Codecs for Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11 is an audio and video codec package. I have no problems with CCCP so far, and all my movies are playing smoothly.

After all, it IS the Windows Media Player way before the fat bloat of Windows Media Player XP was released. MPC’s interface is easy to use, and for those who have used pre-Windows XP systems, I’m sure that you’ll find it very familiar. Instead, CCCP is a compilation of powerful codecs that uses the Media Player Classic (MPC) program to play videos and music. At least, in my experience.ĬCCP is NOT a standalone player, like VLC is. And where VLC falls short, CCCP takes charge. Windows-only Combined Community Codec Pack is exactly what it says (and no, it’s not the Russian federation): it’s a pack of codecs collected by the community to play every single media type that exists. Again, augmenting the annoyance.Īnd then, CCCP comes to the rescue. And knowing VLC (and every single media player for that matter), clicking on the position bar is always inaccurate and would take you elsewhere, like 5 minutes or so off. I don’t know what you call this type of lag - flicker? Jitter? It’s the kind of annoying hiccup that causes a certain frame to freeze for 5 seconds or more, while the audio plays normally and continuously, sort of making you miss all the action and you having to rewind a few steps back. Such was the case when VLC started to lag on my Wind0ws 7 圆4 system. What else can you use to play all those cryptic sounding file types? Or those 720p movies you ripped from somewhere? It has become such a huge part in the daily entertainment routine that when it fails, it’s a huge annoyance for everyone.

Installing it on every fresh operating system has become a habit too, and you almost can’t live without it. I’ve been a VLC user for as long as I can remember. But like any other great thing, it too has its discrepancies. It can play almost every imaginable media file type, all the way from simple WAV files to MP4’s, good old AVI’s to MKV’s.
