 >>>> SETUP AND USAGE <<<<

The codec packs contains a Settings Application to use in conjunction with your windows media center setup which will enable each user to choose from different splitters and decoders for specific filetypes. The application will also allow you to choose from 10 different speaker configurations from 'same as input' and all the way up to full 7.1 channel output. Other Audio/Video tools are found on the Tools page.

I have also released x64 versions of the settings application so these codec adjustments are completely independent of each other on Windows 7 systems and can co-exist together on x64 systems.

updated applications are available on the forums

The Settings Application is 100% UAC compliant.
Restricted access is enforced. (User Account Control)

The Application allows each user to maintain individual codec settings while at the same time seamlessly integrating any administrative commands directly into the users account. New users accounts are detected upon opening the Application and automatically inherit the Administrators settings.

Adding files to the Windows Media Player Playlist

On the Help TAB of the 32bit Settings Application is a button to allow you to choose Windows Media Player Filetype Associations. Once you have used this button, you can Enqueue newly associated files to the Windows Media Player Playlist as depicted below. If for some reason this doesn't work for you, go back to the associations button, click No twice, consecutively, then select Yes. No reboot is required.

 
This will also work for audio files such as FLAC, APE or musepack.

When dealing with codecs, more does not equal better.
Having the least amount on your system is the best configuration.
This is exactly what these codec releases will do for you.

You will no longer be restricted to using any specific player.
WMP and your Windows Media Center setup will play all your files.

The Current release for Windows Vista and XP users is VERSION 6.2.1

WINDOWS 7 CODECS - The current release of Win7codecs is VERSION 3.4.3

MKV and FLAC playback is fully supported by all RELEASES in any player.

Thanks to everyone who has made a donation.

I put a lot of time and effort into creating and maintaining these releases.
