This was the most horrible codec pack ever. It messed up all .dll files associated with Quicktime and iTunes, and I still can't get them to work right after uninstalling both, manually getting rid of old files, and reinstalling. Not to mention half of the codecs didn't work. I understand a pack like this may be useful, but if something like this is to be created, please don't make it sabotage the other media players.

A codec pack with lots of codecs. Works fine if you have the slightest idea what you are doing. It is usually one of the first things I install on a computer. All you unhappy people rating it 1, start reading the text, learn how to use the tools and how to install the thing, use your logic skills, and don't expect so d**n much from this. It's a huge non-profit one-man project and you can't expect it to be all automatic. Did you really think that it would backup your entire system so that you could fully restore everything at uninstall? It does replace many things if you have them on forehand and tell the installer to install them.

At first, this seems a great codec pack. Everything seems to work just fine. But when i found out that iTunes was not playing any of my files (including video), i decided to uninstall.
That's when all hell broke loose on my machine. Now not just but all my media related software gets frozen, give errors, or simply won't run.
The uninstallation removed all codec related info from registry and "not" replaced with the older settings, it just left everything a blank.
So at this point iTunes, Real Player, Adobe After Effects, convertion programs, even DIVX PLAYER are not working.
I had to re-install these tools all over again. Some are working now, but most of them still give errors (Media Player Classic is not playing DVD or Divx files - divx player works, iTunes still not playing mp3, etc).
So at the end : Yes this is a great mega pack, with an awful installation/removal package.
I belive the developer never tested this package except his/her own computer...

What's the point of these packs apart from seemingly legal distribution of pirated filters? A part of ACE's contents might be usefult but you don't need to install a hundred of filters at once. If you want to obtain, for example, Elecard MPEG-2 Decoder (payware), join a Direct Connect hub where someone will be sharing his k-lite mega pack installation, but DO NOT use this or any other package.
ACE Megapack uses afwuly complex InstalShield installer which has a good chance not to run at all due to some file missing. InstallShield also cannot be easily unpacked.
Free-Codecs has many separate codecs available. If you still need others which cannot be posted freely on the Web, download another pack that uses Inno or older NSIS installer, unpack it and get the filter you need. But DO NOT install ANY codec pack.

Let me just make a recommendation to XP users. The XP codec pack is all that you will ever need to play just about any video file on Windows MP. AMCP contains too many codecs which casual users may never come across. Besides XP codec pack is 5 Mb whereas AMCP is about 50 Mb. That's a difference worth considering.

i dont think its ace mega codec pack there is to blame, i have the freeze ups when ever i try and play a media files (movie formats only) but i do know when and where it started excactly. started 1 hour after i installed winamp 5.23 which was in between i 2 movies, made some food while listening to music and it asked for update before i started to listen to music, then when food was done and winamp was updated to 5.23 i couldnt play any movies anymore, still cant and iam slowly starting to think i have to format c: iam afraid. if anyone finds any issue regarding this i would be happy to know

Just want to post here to help with general CODEC problems. I'm not an expert but I have a ton of pro DV editing software (Edius Pro 3.6, Sony Vegas etc.) and I've had a pretty crazy time with encoding. For playing movies or ANY OTHER FORM OF DIGITAL MEDIA without hasstle and minimal system resources look at the dreeware "VLC Media Player" It's NEVER FAILED TO PLAY EVERYTHING I HAVE IN ANY FORMAT. Also go to Ebooksportal dot org. They have a free ebook in the media section that is designed to teach CODECS 101 for beginners.
Good place to start.

Beginners will be pissed!!! There is no instruction, readme files, or support for installation, and operation of dashboard can be confusing & damaging...After installing ACE Mega Pack, I ran Sherlock Codec Detective. Sherlock said all ACE codecs were broken or not installed properly...I just wanted more codec options for vid editing and media playing, but no luck, and most A-holes won't help newbs...I'll just stick to K-Lite untill somebody is cool enough to teach me some, or untill a nice help file is included...
Oh, and use Sherlock Codec Detective to see just how good your codecs truley are!!!

Before you read the reviews on the bottom of this (with all their cussing and offensive language), you have to realize that some of these reviews are by distraught people who have no idea what theyre even talking about. I highly recommend reading atleast 2 pages of reviews first before you make a conclusion.
I almost didn't download this because I thought it was a bad codec pack. But I did! and I closed my eyes and prepared to re-install everything and even set up a restore point. and it worked! lol to my relief my windows media player still worked! the files that i had would still play! the files that wouldn't play before now play!
note: my review does not include a test with iTunes or Real Audio or Quicktime Applications. I read that some people admitted having had problems with it, and having a simple solution of unchecking some checkboxes when installing this.
please read the reviews :)

I have just something to add on from what I had posted last time. Once you uninstall your iTunes and your F*cked up package, you need reinstall all the media player you had before, but don't uninstall them just downloard the new one and reinstall over the f*ucked up ones that should get your old media player back to working again.

This program morphs into total crap. 579 registry entries removed, still can't get rid of the dashboard or program entries in the start menu, and not one of my media players will work anymore-- WMP, RM, QT all dead.
Any attempt to play a file gives total system freeze and requires rebooting. f*cked my system good.

I have a way to solve the problem for people who already installed the sh*t pack before uncheck the quitime thing and the one under that. you go under your c drive-->Windouws-->System32-->and then you will see bounch files, then go under the letter "Q" section delete all the files that had "quicktime" on it then istall your iTunes again everything should work fine. I did that myself it works perfact now, Happy ^_^

Still the best codec pack ever. My only small desire for the next update is the last version of BS Player. :p
It's possible others had problems with it, but still, I find it strange, 'cause I'm using it for 3 years already, and I've seen it working on so many PC's, and never ran into conflicts.

This software isn't so bad and you can uninstall it very easy.
You realy must read more before you start yelling that it's junk and f*cks up your computer.
Any registry cleaner nowadays will clean up your registry.
I never had problems with this program.
The only thing about Ace is that you have to put it to the just play setting to play some games.
And if your codecs are messed up just hit repair and it's done.

I've use it for several years now and I'd like to keep doing that but if the update doesn't come soon I'll have to switch to another pack since I don't have the time to update separately every codec/filter that needs updating.
Otherwise, I like the pack very much although man just has to be patient with it and understand it. The only other problem I've had was the antivirus module a few years ago (with previous version) but I can't tell about the present version since I always deselect it for installation.
I would advice the people that say nasty words about the pack to try to understand the idea behind the organisation of the pack, think again where their problems might have come from or else just go to other, friendlier codec packs.

I agree, this pack causes problems with viewing windows media player filetypes in mozilla firefox. There is no way to unistall it properly and system restore has no effect.
Work needs to be done!!!!

don't know about this one, but i used ver 6.01 for like a year or so and it worked great. since then i had problems with viewing two files. for one i downloaded the newest xvid - worked fine. the other movie was encoded with h264. for this i installed vlc player. it played, though the picture was all wobbly. so my smart brother installed (whole) tsunami codec pack. nothing changed, exept all got a lot slower. i uninstalled everything an re-instaled ACE. now i have a problem, that drwatson crashes explorer when i preview the folder with my movies. but i think it's just a matter of re-installing ACE with less codecs (an installation guide would be useful for no-pro users :). anyway, good stuff if installed properly.

I also had problems with Itunes launching after the ACE mega codec pack was installed.
A post earlier said to uncheck the installation of the
QuickTime Video Decoder 6.5.1
RealMedia Video Decoder 6.0.9.1875
during instalation.
I can say that doing so has resulted in Itunes now working fine without uninstaling the codec pack.
thank you thank you so much for the post earlier that cleared that up.
I spent 4 hours uninstaling and reinstaling itunes and the codec pack over and over again trying to pinpoint what was up.
Thx again

This is the BEST pack of codecs i ever came accross. i tried KLite Mega, and a few others, but this 1 rocks. i never have problems playing absolutely any video format at all. Even 3GP (mobile video) and Flash (SWF) work perfectly. had some issues with win98, but doesnt matter. THANKS A TON for it.
Hey Mr. Author, Its time for an update though... waiting. All alternative codecs (Quicktime, Real etc) and MPC have updated... how about Ace too. thanks 1ce again.
