To stop the error between iTunes and mega codec pack... So...
You have 2 options...
- First of all, you NEVER should install Ace Mega Codec Pack 6.03 (or CodecLite) after install iTunes (it's going to have a troubleshot between Mega Codec Pack and Quick Time Player)
- If your already done it, you need to...
1- Delete the folder and the components about Quick Time in System32 folder (C:\Windows\System32...)
2- Unistall Quick Time Player (don't unistall itunes)
3- Download iTunes installation file and repair it.

I'm not sure if it works 100%. I did it 2 last times in my computer and it works well until now.

Stay good...(sorry for my bad english)

Really...anyone posting problems with this should look at the date of the last update

21 Dec 2004

If you've downloaded this in 2008 and are having problems with your computer after then shame on you. we're talking a little over three years old and people are still d/l'ing this and using it.

It was fine in it's time. I had to do some tweaking with it back in 2005 but that's been the last time I've used it. It's been on my computer since but now that new Codecs are coming out I'm thinking of grabbing k-lite to replace it.

But ANYONE that uses this product in 2008 should be slapped across the face with a wet noodle for not noticing how old the product is. A/V doesn't sit still like this pack apparently has. Get a newer pack folks!!

I notice that most of the negative comments and poor ratings given to this software are by people who also don't have a grasp of english spelling or grammar. These signs of idiocy or laziness clearly indicate the root of the 'problems' you folks have with this codec pack.

The only issue is with the Moonlight MPEG-2 filter which is not an MPEG-2 filter at all (PowerDVD or InterActual should be used instead, thankfully, these are distributed along wit the package anyway).

Provided you configure the Codecs you wish to use, set the merits in order of preference and don't overload your system with irrelevant dsp's etc. then you'll have no worries and find this package is very useful indeed.

Fair codec pack. Could use some work on the conflicts and perhaps come up with a more comprehensive and intuitive dashboard. It ruined my system twice before i figured out what the problem was, so buggy - yes, but worth the effort. Keep on developing, boys.

it works fine plays the files I couldnt play before BUT....

NOW IT FREEZES UP MY NERO VISION EXPRESS 2 OR 3 EVERYTIME I TRY TO MAKE A SVCD OR DVD. and I have not found a soulution yet other to uninstall it. anybody know anything that would help ??

IT also has alot of codecs that I have no clue if I need them or not and disables alot that I dont know if I should or not. SOME KIND OF GUIDE BESIDES THE VERY BASIC ONE WOULD BE NICE.

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.

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!!!

I encountered a CODECS DASHBOARD error modal as I was installing ACE. The modal says, "List index out of bounds (-1)" Does anyone know what this means or how to fix it? I also get the same modal when I attempt to uninstall ACE. Thanks.
