7Zip Problem:
Install Winzip and 7Zip.
Right click the .zip file and extract it.
The VistaCodecs_v464.exe is not actually an exe, it's a 7zip archive.
Right click the exe file, under 7zip extract it.
Run the setup.exe from the resulting extraction.

I have to give you praise for the codecs package. However, I do miss one feature that you had in the other previous versions that is not in 463 final. I have a 32-bit system with Windows Home Basic. I also had to download Windows Movie Maker 2.6 for Windows Vista.
I rip or burn a lot of chapters from DVDs into MPEG format using Roxio Easy DVD & CD burning. I like the feature you included in previous versions in the 32 bit tools for MPEG, which was "set MPEG2 to use ffdshow (.ts)"
That feature is no longer available, and I could no longer use Windows Movie Maker to convert the mpg files to WMV. It would only import the audio and not the video portion.
For that reason, I uninstalled the 463 package, and reinstalled an earlier version I had saved to a CD (456 final). Now, I can convert the mpg files to WMV again.
I've had no other problems, and can still watch all my AVI, divX, WMV and mpegs with 456 final. My DVDs also play well on my VLC player and in WMP.
Thanks for making such a great codecs package. I hope that you might consider re-adding the "MPEG2 to use ffdshow" in the 32-bit tools again. :)

works instantaneously, no need to reboot.
btw, you don't have to run in administrator IF you installed winRar/win/zip/poweriso to work for all accounts on your computer...

Hi All
Lookin for some advice. Installed v450 a while back which is awesome and has enabled playback of most files on WMP11. However, I just downloaded some .ogm files which I can't play. On searching for the required codec I was directed to the latest vista codecs package here on Free-Codecs. So, I need to know, does the latest version v456 contain the necessary cdes. If so, do I need to uninstall v450 before i install and how. Or am I better off just installing the ogg directshow filters seperately. Hope someone can help. thanks

That's weird. I did a virus scan just to check with Trend, Spy Sweeper and Windows Defender, and no trojan viruses were detected.
I had no problem installing it at all.

How i resolved it was to right-click and extract the files using winrar,then from the resulting folder run the Vista codec package.msi

Do you mean "does it work for XP"? No, it doesn't. If you want something for XP, go back to the other page and scroll down to the bottom. You'll find a download for an "XP codec pack" there.
Thanks for the latest version. It's totally improved the quality of my avi and flv files. I'll be giving a donation later this week.

4.4.9 beta1 deserves a 5 rating. I started with 4.4.6 and each upgrade only got better. Before I ever downloaded Vista codec pack, I was already having problems with Windows Media Player 11. I called the Vista techs because I could no longer play DVDs. They couldn't help and couldn't figure out what happened. I was getting a message about the resolution. I figured out on my own what happened. I had taken a windows update, and it somehow deleted of my DVD decoder. I found a d**n good DVD decoder by Roxio, and it solved the problem where I could play DVDs again in WMP.
I also had the VLC player, but it wasn't playing DVDS. That's when I decided to download the Vista codec pack, and it worked. I have four players in all: WMP, Real Player, VLC player and FLV player. I can play any type of file now on any of the players (except FLV of course). I can play AVIs, and I don't need the Quick Time player or DivX either. I noticed someone was having trouble uninstalling 4.4.9. Simply click on start, click on the icon above your username, and uncheck the administrator box. That should help, and allow you to uninstall it. Thanks for taking the time to make this codec package. It's really nice not to have to download anymore players like Quick Time or DivX.

Hi All...
I cut and pasted the wrong error message. The error message I get trying to play a commercial DVD with WMP11 is
Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder, and video card. Try installing an updated driver for your video card.
Using K-lite full or Mega 3.3.0 works.
Thanks,
...Karl

Hi All...
With Vista Codec Pack version 4.4.8 installed, I can't play original DVDs with Windows Media Player 11. It gives the following error message.
Windows Media Player cannot play DVD video. You might need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try lowering your screen resolution and color quality settings.
This works if I use K-Lite Codec Pack Full 3.3.0.
Thanks,
...Karl

@revo - Microsoft Forefront also reports the same FALSE results. Thats why most people don't rely on these ineffective tools.
Those 2 files contain simple DOS commands that I wrote to allow the manipulatution of registry data as required to view ripped HD-DVD content in *.EVO format.
