I used this codec pack in my UA cd. but i'm still looking for another one I found here last summer, this one had also quicktime and realplayer decoders so I could view everything in one player. Compared both my system32 folders (with older UA cd) and found out there is a RealPlayer and a QuickTime folder that are not in this codec pack, but all the other files are the same (but updated version since then). Is it another driver pack or missed a link and downloaded a light version? I dont' speak german so maybe I made a mistake the last 3 times i downloaded it...


I thought it was maybe on astalavista's topic he posted a couple posts back, but the link is not working.

If it can help someone remember, i had to play in the batch file to change the path cause the original codec pack was made for zoomplayer cause the codec-pack maker used that software but he had provited the correct line to replace for the ppl who wanted it to be installed for WMP.

And also, codec.cmd was much longer than the one provided here, the one posted in mine from the codec pack. but strangely it registers with codecreg.reg and all the rest seems similar except for the quicktime and realmedia folders and extended support.

removed cause question answered and it was way too long for this page

Early on in this thread, the Quicktime and Real Player elements were removed.

Real Alternative and QuickTime Alternative are better ways to integrate Quicktime and Real Player.

Oh, thanks for the update

I also noticed that there is no file association either in the new codecs.cmd. I guess this is because they are automatically supported with media player classic that comes with real alternative and quicktime alternative?

Most of them do, there's a few that aren't supported by either QT or RP Alt, especially if you use the DirectShow Filter Pack
Here are some of the entries I've added to the codecreg.reg for other media formats.

BTW, the credit for most of the above work belongs to SiMoNsAyS and his Registering Extensions Unattended.

I also suggest you check out CoRoNe's DirectShow Filter Pack. Instead of putting them into the Program Files folder as he suggests I added them to my $OEM$\$$\System32 folder and included the registering w/codecs.cmd.

[CoRoNe]

Well afaik it doesn't make any difference and I'd like to keep it well organized.
I associate many filetypes with Zoom Player afterwards
(perhaps some of you are wondering why I haven't updated my package in the meantime...that's simply because there aren't any updates of those filters I uncluded, at least nothing special)

Thanks for the recommendation there X-Ecutioner

I've been working on a Silent Install GUI to help the process of silent installs of the Advanced Codec Pack from my site, you guys may get some idea's from it.

The GUI mirrors the component selection page in the installer, making selection simple and easy to understand (sort of).

It works by creating an ini file for the actual installer to read, then creates a simple .cmd file to open the installer in full silent mode, it detects if the codec pack isnt in the same directory and if it isnt it will download it for you.

In the actual installer I added detection for the ini file and also the mode in which the installer has been executed (if it's been double clicked and the ini file is present it will ask if the user wishes to switch mode to silent or continue with the unsilent option).
If the .cmd file was executed then the full silent mode will be used.

Thanks, it's always nice to get feedback.

The DivX Pro encoder features a trial option for 180 days, after which the encoder will switch to standard features (with no adware), you can register it if you wish though.

I'll be updating the silent install page on the main site soon.

At a later date I'll release a package to support RealMedia and QuickTime.

I don't want to sound like a party pooper, but is there a specific reason why people have now started both complaining about this codec pack work and hijacking the thread with their alternate suggestions.

Noone's saying you have to love it or even download it, noone's saying that the pack is greater than any other marketed product. However if the criticism is anything other than constructive keep it to yourself. If the alternatives are as good as you say they are, start another thread.

I'm not 'buddies' with swgreed, and I currently do not use the pack, I just think that if I had put the hard work in in the first place and people started having off topic discussions about other products in the middle of my thread, I would begin to get a little upset.

I hope you understand my point!

[c-o-l-e]

Was that aimed at me?

[Shark007]

This thread goes back about 1 1/2 yrs.

Personally, i started out with this pack almost from its inception.
I havent even read this thread in months because of the clutter.
I stilll use this pack as a basis for my own build of codec/filter pack.

thanks swgreed.


shark

[Gee]

I agree with Shark. I periodically check this thread to see if Swgreed has updated his pack.

Nothing beats the raw CoDecs. I hate installers, packagers or wrappers of any sort.

Thanks Swgreed. (Another loyal fan)

If you are having an off topic discussion about other products in the middle of someone elses thread, then yes…

There was no criticism, my post was aimed at being constructive (see bold text).
I placed a link to the details in a post on my forum, not my main site.
I didn't provide a direct download link to either packages.
I didn't even name the site or give the full name of the package.
I know about this thread because I've been emailed a few times about it.
I only replied to questions directed at me.

That any better for you?

[Gee]

I think Yzöwl is just suggesting that you create a new thread with regards to your CoDec Pack and mabe direct people to that thread instead of hi-jacking this thread.
