Windows Vista Codec Pack is a all in one codec pack for
Windows Vista users who suffer from their system’s inability
to play a variety of popular audio and video formats.
It remains a mystery to many why Microsoft has decided to
ship Windows Vista without the required Windows Vista Codec
to play those multimedia files.
I’m normally not a friend of codec packs because they tend
to install many Codecs that are not needed on most systems
and could pose compatibility problems with codecs already
installed on the system.
Windows Vista on the other hand misses some essential Codecs
that can be quite easily added with the Vista Codec Package
which can be customized during installation.
That is right, unlike other codec packages you can select to
install all or only some of the Codecs offered.
Most possible conflicts have already been dealt with and the
settings have already been altered for best results.
The Windows Vista codec package does not ship with a media
player which means that no file associations are being made.
Just fire up your favorite media player, I recommend VLC or
Mplayer, who automatically will use the codecs that are
installed on your system.
