Windows Vista Codec Package – Play AVI, FLV, MKV, MOD, MOV, MP4, MPG and Other Files
June 16th, 2007 | Posted by in Tech/Web
Having problems playing certain video files now that you’re using Windows Vista? Try installing the newest version of Windows Vista codec package.
About the codec package:
Many user suggested default settings are implemented. Vista Codec Package does not contain a media player. It does not associates filetypes. With this package installed you will be able to use any media player (limited only by the players capabilities) to play DVD’s, movies and video clips of any format. Streaming video (real and quicktime) is supported in web browsers.
Visit the homepage to get a 64bitAddon which enables xvid, divx and DVD playback in Vista’s MediaCenter.
Codecs have always been a pain in the butt. Vista Codec Package takes from the best, all the big name creators, several small guys too. Then I track down the latest updates and test their functionality. Next I compile all this into a single pack. All possible conflicts are already dealt with. Many user suggested default settings are implemented.

I have a weird problem. If have the libraries set up on my Vista PC and Media Extender. I store my vids on a separate storage drive. I can play them from my Vista PC fine but they will only play on the extender IF I play them on the Vista PC first. Example…
1) Media Extender: I select the movie from my library stored on a separate storage drive
2) I get the following error no matter how many times I try to play it. “Cannot Play Video… The file type is not recognized and cannot be played. Either the correct codec blahblahblah… ”
3) HOWEVER, if I then go to my Vista PC, select the same movie and let it play it at least a few seconds, stop and close it, then go back and select the same movie on my media extender and it suddenly work!
Its almost as if it needs to be preloaded on the Vista machine first. This seems an unnecessary step to watch movies on my extender and am trying to figure out why this is happening. Any ideas???? Your help is appreciated.
It seems to work on my flv files in WMP, but the software package has a virus hidden inside which McAfee caught – a worm by the name of zf.gen in renderer32.exe while running msiexec.exe. Hopefully it’s not one of those worms that keep popping up even though McAfee says it’s been removed…
According to Trend Micro Internet Security, (my virus program) this has a trojan horse Mal_Naix-5 program with this download and is unable to clean. Down load at your own risk!!
works perfectly, somehow I had this on another computer when I bought it, however, it would not work on this, great package, thanks!
