Starting fresh with codecs.

x_rex30 · Post by **x_rex30** » Sat Feb 24, 2007 11:02 pm

I'd like to uninstall all the codecs from my computer and start fresh and would like help doing it. Is there a really nice guide to do this or a program to help do this? I want to try out the cccp and see if it helps get rid of some codec problems I've been having.

Just go through your program files and uninstall all those available in there. Then go to Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs and choose remove for all of them (you have to find each individual one, it's not all in one pack)

Probably should be careful. I am in projects so I want to avoid certain codecs like dg and vfapi.

I heard of programs that could analyze your codecs, I'd like something like that. Also certain codecs I don't think would be good to touch, might break something and be unable to fix like ati. I might change my mind on this, I'm going to take any help here and do research of my own to see exactly what I should do to make things run the way I want them. One of the reasons I'm thinking of doing this is xvid got choppy(fixed it though) and color spaces are becoming more of a problem when encoding.

.....

Thanks for the help though..

CCCP Website wrote:The current playback pack will install:

* Haali Media Splitter 2006-10-29 (MKV, MP4, OGM, TS, AVI)
o Required for compliant MKV playback. Attempts to disable other MKV splitters on the system. This filter is also used for MP4 and OGM, as well as AVI. AVI is not used by default in the pack and is not recommended to do so. You will, however, need the MP4, OGM and TS parts for playing those files, as Windows doesn't understand those formats by itself.
* VSFilter 2.37 (SSA/ASS, SRT, VOBSUB subtitles)
o Displays subtitles. It will attempt to disable any previous DirectVobSub installations you might have.
* FFDShow Unicode 2006-09-23 CCCP build (H.264/AVC, DivX, XviD, Flash Video, various audio formats etc.)
o Decodes H.264, XviD, DivX, generic MPEG-4, and Flash video. Also used for audio decoding with the following formats turned on by default: AAC, Vorbis, MP3, AC3, DTS, FLAC, TTA. If you would like to turn off ffdshow decoding for a specific video or audio format, read further down for instructions on how to do it properly. Note: this is a stripped-down and well tested ffdshow build. Do NOT assume that you can replace it with any other ffdshow version.
* WMV9VCM
o Required to play WMV9 content if you don't have Windows Media Player 9 or 10, Windows Media Format SDK, or Microsoft Codec Installation Package for Windows Media Player 7.1 installed - ffdshow can't decode WMV9. If any of those are installed, then WMV9VCM will be ignored during playback (even if it was installed by CCCP) and the WMV9 codecs that come with them will be used instead (which is a good thing).
* Gabest's MPV (MPEG2) Decoder 1.0.0.3
o Decodes MPEG2 video (the stuff on a DVD). Used instead of ffdshow for a number of reasons.
* CoreWavPack 1.0.3
o Decodes WavPack audio and splits WavPack audio files (.WV) for playback in DirectShow.
* Gabest's FLV Splitter 1.0.0.1
o Splits FLV (Flash Video) files for DirectShow playback.
* Media Player Classic 6.4.9.0
o Media Player Classic, one of the two recommended players. Choose this one or Zoom Player according to your preference.
* Zoom Player Standard 4.51
o The other recommended player. Other players are NOT supported; see the Media Players page.

Well, that's a list of all that's included in CCCP, so you could always just look for those particular codecs/apps and uninstall them
