Public Service Announcement: Do NOT install "CODEC PACKS."

[rh71]

Maybe a little late... I've already installed Nimo. But I don't have any problems with my machine whatsoever.

I agree with you though... if you could package those 2 up as nicely as Nimo, I'd buy what you're selling.

Does this ffdshow really give you better quality video than the regular divx codec?

 

[dethman]

always worked fine for me.

What is this 'MSVCR70.dll' that wasn't found? It says if I try reinstalling, the problem might be fixed...but it's not. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

'MSVCR70.dll' comes with XP or .NET, i cant remember which one

the next release should remove dependance on it

stick that in WINDOWS\System32 or WINNT\system32

NuclearFusi0n i truly wonder if you have any knowledge of how video compression works.

 

[0roo0roo]

[BuMMiE]

Thank you very much NuclearFusi0n...I really appreciate it. Did everything you said and it worked perfectly.

i should be a public spokesman for the Nimo Codec...that package is great! I've never had any problems installing or had any video/codec conflicts. Nimo=#1 in my book. Besides, packaged by the same guy that made WinAmp.

Do you know who doom9 is?

I want to know, because he/she is one of my idols....

I have installed the codec pack on multiple computers without issue.

Sounds like an operator problem.

 

[flavio]

I've been using NIMO without problems. I'm reformatting this week and might give the ffdshow a try.

Nimo has never caused any trouble for me. You can have fun reformatting if you want, but as for me, I'll jsut install it and not have to worry about the sound not playing in half my videos.

 

[murphy55d]

I had trouble with Nimo too... but the ELISOFT codec pack has worked fine for me.

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

Thanks NuclearFusi0n.

Never had a problem with any codec pack. Why?

Inspired by hearing people encourage the installation of codec packs....

Here it is straight from the Doom9 of Doom9.org.

You installed the Nimo pack? The Nimo Codec Pack is evil[tm]! Happy reformating and fresh-installing your system! After that, stick with ffdshow or the XviD decoders. Just install the codecs you need, and no bloated packs!

These codec packs do nothing but contribute to problems on your computer. Just install ffdshow if you are missing a video filter, AC3Filter for your Dolby Digital sound, and any other codecs that you know you need. Don't try to install a bunch of outdated crap that will conflict with everything else on your computer.

Thanks.

Exactly. Nimo is possibly the worst thing you can do for compatibility of video and audio formats.
