Vista Codec Package 7.2

"Very bad. Total waste of my time. My advice: get K-Lite, that works brilliantly on all my PCs."

If K-Lite is working so well for you why were you even reading about another codecpack? Not so brilliant afterall.

My advice, ignore the K-Lite trolls and check out this fantastic package. It just works.

You may want to try downloading it from another source. Your installation file may be corrupt. There is also a program to help you deal with UAC issues in Vista, http://www.tweak-uac .com

Respondent #16, I do exactly as you suggest,
"Run as Administrator".

I get the 7-zip message. No go.
What's the answer then?

Jeff:
Extract the main download if it is archived. Then what you are going to do is, if you have WinRar, right click and hit extract (i dont get why it was double archived either). I was having the same problem until i messed around with it also. Try this and tell me what you think.

For those using Vista and unable to install VCP you need to rightclick on the downloaded file and choose 'Run as administrator...' Even though Vista may tell you that you are an administrator, you still dont have full admin rights under Vista.

For Camtasia you need to go into the Video decoder configuration icon, scroll the righthand window to TechSmith and change the setting from libavcodec to disabled. It is set as it is so that people without Camtasia installed can still view the videos created by Camtasia.

after weeks of my divix files crashing media center i installed 4.4.2....pow everthing runs perfect. Thanks

Installed the 441 and it works. THANKS. THANKS. THANKS.

this codec pack is excellent, i use vista ultimate 32 and am always downloading media in every single format you can think of ogg, ogm, mkv, flv, avi etc and this plays them all
i have tried other codec packs such as klite codec pack but that wouldnt play it all, this kills it!

This site has some crappy codecs, but this one is actually worth its salt.... just watched hotel rwanda in WMP 11 on vista business. Before downloading the codec pack I got the stupid no codec message when playing dvds, I am the first person to review this version 4 and can say it worked great for me... I\'d recommend custom installing and just taking the power dvd codec... I installed all the other ones and I don\'t think that was necessary.

Works just like it states it would. I have WMP 11 and I am running Windows Vista. It changed the icons, and all my AVI's played perfectly. Awesome product and it's free.

Cheers!!

I've tried a lot of codecs but this one's the best!!!
No more problems with my .mpeg and .avi files!
I'm delighted with it!

Great thanks to Vista Codec Package!!!

I'm amazed at the simplicity and functionality this package offers. If you have Vista, you need this package.

I use Vista Ultimate x64 and the x64 Components offered by the same developers are just as incredible.

Everything works the 1st time. Install and go. This site doesnt offer the x64 Components but a simple search on google will lead you to them.

Muy bueno, ya era hora
