What is it with video Codecs?

I mean really, every other sort of software works fine
without fail, but so many movie files only appear as sound
or fail to run at all and media player says "Error
Downloading Codec"... why? IS there nowhere I can go and DL
a 50mb file that has *every* released video codec in it?
Please somebody help, I'm getting fed up of DLing 700mb
video files or getting stuff from mates that I can't watch.

Just download the latest DivX codec from

www.divx.com

That will sort you

Do a Google on "Nimo codec pack" all codecs in one package
:)

But beware, as some of the codecs conflict with each other!
(I'll try to find out which ones you need to disable)

That one does have everything, it can be risky if you don't
disable the right ones though like you said..

Personally the latest div x and then xvid in the div x
directory has never failed me.

"Warning : The free "Pro" version of the DivX 5.0 codec
(contained in this codec pack) contains adware/spyware,
which means that third party programs must be installed in
order for this program to work during DivX encoding (DivX
playback does not require the adware/spyware programs to be
runnning). "

Beware though, some of the Nimo codec packs contain spyware!

I still use those, I think you were the one that suggested
them in the first place.

Yes, but if you need video codecs only you can just disable
the rest anyway :)

I tend to agree with Jarworski on this one, personally

Personally I think porn is very educational. I'll go into
politics and suggest weekly display of porn flicks in
primary schools.
