need an AVI reader

[DarkSpace]

What's the best Free AVI reader. Legal is prefered actually I just want a legal one

 

[Salamantis]

Get VLC.

 

[arctic_flame]

Windows media player.

 

[DarkSpace]

I'm on vista and it seems that Windows Media Player won't read the AVI file.

AVI is just a container (think zip file, almost anything can be in it)

This being said CCCP puts together a nice pack containing all you need:

Are there any new codecs that have been made since January and need to be in the CCCP pack?

K-Lite >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CCCP

 

[MR_COW]

VLC is the best media player for any format. Free, works on any platform, and compatible with freakin anything.

 

[juggernaut911]

MPC>VLC

 

[Banger]

CCCP and K-Lite are kinda crap. Either just go with VLC, MPC or GOM or even WMP. All shall work fine.

 

[jaxxster]

i use vlc here and its a charm.

 

[suppachipmunk]

I use WMP with CCCP.

I like WMP because of the pretty interface and the ease of use to rip and burn music cds.

I use VLC as a last resort because it is just a plain media player. But VLC is by far the best thing ever to grace the porno downloading scene.

A simple original question does not need us derailing the thread but OK
k-lite last I checked it was one of those really bloated packs and things do not seem to have changed:
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm
There is FFDshow and xvid and divx all in one. Likewise there are 5 main mpeg2 decoders (6 if you count the somewhat unstable part of ffdshow)
2 ac3/dts decoders/filters
and so on and so on
The "STANDARD" version is nominally better mind you by the looks of things.

VLC, MPC or GOM or even WMP
VLC, a fine player but not overly customisable.
MPC, pretty good but it is usually being used with FFDShow and co that makes it.
GOM, no comment as I have not played with it in several years.
WMP, urgh. Wait the bass audio filter is not that bad.

re: now new CCCP. As Mewgia points out it will work and you can do things by hand if it really becomes pressing (anyone on a vista machine should have enough to run nearly anything going).

This.

Are people actually serious about VLC? Nowadays, whenever I see someone mentions VLC people usually laugh at them or troll them.

I guess.

I only use VLC for FLVs because MPC with CCCP doesn't seem to like them...
