rach Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Most of players these days have already supported a lot of formats by its own internal codecs. I don't use codec pack personally, only standalone player. Even if I needed external filters, I would install them separately. dcs18 and UberGeek 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
november_ra1n Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I use Windows 10 Windows Media Player only and that is more than enough for me not to use another player. It is an old habit yes i use Kazaa Lite K regardless if I really need them or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeMasteR Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 No, on demand only. 99% of the codecs are unused all the time anyway, i don't see any advantage in having what i don't need.. It's like installing 10000 drivers in case there may be one or the other that applies for your hardware, nobody is going to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gipsy Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 nope,MirillisSplashEX+windows media player r more than enough for my needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven36 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) I use to install codec packs about 5 years a go but now most players for windows they already have codecs to play most formats so i no longer have a need to install them. In other O/S if i need a codec i only install the codec i need. like x265 i can just install the codec, even though Ubuntu flavors dont come with codecs all you have to do is check a box and they install most needed codecs. Debian is the same way. Edited February 25, 2016 by steven36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Only Standalone players here. especially MPC-HC (light on resources, sharp image) Sometimes i use specific external codecs for authoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, Win10 doesn't support it. It supported it for everyone pre-RTM, but only then, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pjotr 1st Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) For many years, i used k-lite codec pack with mpc-hc. In this time, i often used virtualdub and with the k-lite codec pack, i had all i needed. But when i stopped using virtualdub, there was no need for installing a codec pack anymore and the many updates were bothering me anyway, so i stopped using it. The video-thumbnails were the only feature of installed codecs, i missed now, but then i've found Icaros and this problem was solved. MPC-HC (portable) + Icaros - that's my combi.

luisam Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Latest K-Lite helped me to enable watching a particularly "nasty" video format, using WMP. Strangely, had a problem with VLC. WMP issue was sulved after I installed K-lite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kowalski215 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I used them few years ago (especially k-lite ones). Nowadays I feel they're unnecessary. Just get MPC, or VLC and most formats can be played w/o external codecs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katzenfreund Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Since my old XP suffered stability problems from additional codecs, or lack thereof, I don't trust these things very much. Fortunately, media players like VLC don't need any external codecs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
