ok, my suggestion is to modify the pack on the first page to be a rar containing a cmd file, and a SFX archive (of all the system32 files).
The SFX archive should have default installto path using variables (like %systemdrive%, not C:).
It just seems so much easier to release it this way. get rid of all the problems ppl are having about where to put all the files...

[edit] I know it's real easy to create this - ( i even use this method myself... I store the SFX on the CD, and run it to install to system32. ) But i'm saying the pack should be released in this form.

It sound like a good idea,
but then people will just then blindly install it without, checking editing the cmd /regs. This could lead to incompatabilities with other batches regs etc.. and will probably increase the questions here as a result. At least when its not automated, you are more likely to then look at what your unrarring.

well, the cmd would not be included in the SFX!

Hey swgreed... Just curious, are you still supporting/updating this? Not that I think it needs updating. Just curious if your still working with this thing?

Hi Yzöwl,

I understood that we're player independant too... Isn't it??? i'm surprtised we are NOT.

Anyway, I prefer NOT installing QT player, Real player neither.
On the other hand, i would keeping WMP10 and associate to it QT and real. WMP10 will RUN instead of Real and QT (handle Real/QT files).

If i use yr codecs.inf and codecs.cmd files, what option do ni choose? 1 or 5???

What if...
I decide installing/adding a new player like PowerDVD, ZoomPlayer, LightAlloy, RealAlternative... ???
or
installing QT and/Real later???
Do i have to add/modify codecs???

Regards
coucou

The files are player independent, i.e. no Real Player, QT Player, mplayerc or Zoom Player etc. are included. There are files included for playing Real and QT in your chosen player. My previous comment about being independent, was due to an odd entry in the regs for Zoom Player, although it hasn't been removed in my inf, it will not come to any harm, but will be there if you ever do use Zoom Player in the future.

The files are set to use Windows Media Player, without modification. (just check it's location on your system with the location used in the editable lines at the end of the inf first.)

You need to choose option 1.

If you wish to add a player at a later date, don't add Real Alternative or QuickTime Alternative. They will only really install Media Player Classic on top of what you already have. You will just be as well off downloading, Media Player Classic yourself, it doesn't need installing, just put the executable wherever you want. To register it with all video files, start it, go to Options and check the box, 'all video'.

It can of course also be done in a similar way with any other player you decide to use at a later date.

Hope this helps!

Is there a way to tell if any of these codecs will conflict with themselves or the codecs that come with Windows? Some of these I know I'll need, others I am not so sure of.

[DigeratiPrime]

im going to making an "Unattended Codec Pack" for FLAC, APE, and MPC Directshow Filters soon, anyone interested?

[SiMoNsAyS]

[hqdefel]

If I'm installing Real & Quicktime Alternative, I don't need version 2.2, right?

So is v1.3 available for downloading somewhere?

Thanks.

[andrewpayne]

I have 'tweaked' a v2.2 codecs pack to a 'v2.3' WinRAR self-extractor to include the xvid 1.03 files.

This can be run as a switchless installer OR the 'classic' method of placing the files in system32 as stated on 1st page of this topic.

If anyone is interested PM me. - Anyone care to host a 17MB file?
