Apps - Windows - Vista Codec Package 5.1.8.torrent

Copied from Shark007 Homepage:
The Vista Codec Package is compatible with all versions of Windows XP
The latest releases contain a new Settings Application which enables the user to choose a different
splitter  on the fly  for specific filetypes.
The application also lets you to choose from eight different speaker configurations from  same as
input  and all the way up to full 7 channel output.
Codecs have been a problem for most users at one time or another.
This is because there has never been an  out of the box  working solution that the average computer
user could install and just have everything work properly from the beginning. There are several
decent codec package solutions out there, but none of them did everything I wanted.
I was always in need of a tweak, adjustment, or even a re-installation just to get the codecs I
needed/wanted and most of the time, the file still didn t play properly.
I ve never claimed to be a media guru. My media experience prior to creating these packages was to
double-click a file I downloaded and hope that it played.
So with the help of the MSFN community, I decided to package up the bare minimum of codecs required
by most computer users and share them with the rest of the world. 
The installer will automatically remove most other popular codec releases from your computer before
installing this concise yet comprehensive package.
You won t need to make any adjustments or tweaks to enjoy your media content immediately. Windows
Media Player and Media Center will instantly recognize all your files as playable. 
It does not contain a media player and it does not associate file-types.
With this package installed you will be able to use any media player, limited only by the players 
capabilities, to play all movies and video clips.
Streaming video is supported in several formats in all popular web browsers.
Users of VCP have the ability to choose what is installed and where to install it using the public
redistributable. After installation you can select to remove specific portions without removing the
entire package.
You can also re-add the removed items at any time.
This package supports 18 localizations.
The default is English and the installer includes support for the following other languages; Chinese
Simplified/Traditional, Japanese, Czech, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Italian, Norwegian,
