Avi Codec Pack

There is always a problem in finding the right codec package. With AVI Codec Pack, this problem seems to be solved. With this package, you can play almost any major audio and video format such as DivX, XviD, OGG, and many more.

There are three different ways of installing the codec pack. The first one is 'Minimal' and it installs DivX 5.11, DivX 5.02 DirectShow, DivX audio, and AC3 filter (you can play only the DivX files). The second one is 'Recommended' and it includes Xvid, MPEG4, OGG DirectShow, and MPEG Layer 3. Finally, the last is 'Full'. This includes ffdshow, DivX 3.11 and 4.12, and MPEG Layer 2 (it is not recommended because you will get conflicts between the codecs).

Pluses: It has all the needed codecs to view the most recent video formats

Drawbacks / flaws: I could not use the package fully installed.

In conclusion: Good codec package for viewing video files. Don't compare it with ACE Mega Codecs. This one isn't a professional codec pack.

version: 2.1

WARNING:
If you got the next message during installation or uninstallation:
"Access violation at address 00000000. Read of address 00000000." then you must delete the SystemS3ivx folder.
This error caused by 3ivx Codec is some rare cases. Currently we are working on it, but if you can help, do not hesitate write to me.
Temporary sollution is that the installer does not install 3ivx Codec. If you do not have this kind of problem you may install this codec.
