CodecInstaller is here to help you understand which codec you need and to let you install it in minutes. It detects the Audio and Video codecs installed on your system, analyzes files to understand which codecs they require and suggests you to install them. An advanced feature of CodecInstaller is the Filter Mappings Editor, a tool that will let you change the priority and the types of media a filter will process. This will help solving the issues created by filters producers that set a priority too high for their filters or make them decode formats they cannot handle perfectly. Another feature targeted to power users is the 'remove filter' functionality: you will be able to either unregister a filter (and see a list of other filters that will be affected) or lower its merit value: the effect is that the filter won't be used anymore.

Shows you all the codes installed don your system and will tell you which codes you don't have that you can install. Also shows codes which can be updated. Bloated and comes with tool bar even though I opted out of install.

Don't go searching for codecs when you can get them all here. Wish I had this a few years ago!

NOTE* when installing, watch out for the attempt to install "crawler Tool bar" Why? may take a little effort to remove. http://forum.spywareterm...aspx?g=posts&t=2844

Can somebody translate this please ? I have no clue what the guy (anomoly) wants to say/prove : ----------------- "Great analysis tool. But please, updates for the codecs themselves? That's like asking to stay on top of anydvd updates-virtually impossible. Portable too. I like. Vista is what needs to change not freely available software. " ------------------
