There are several decent codec package solutions out there, but none of them did everything I wanted. I was always in need of a tweak, adjustment, or even a re-installation just to get the codecs I needed/wanted and most of the time, the file still didn't play properly.

The installer automatically remove most other popular codec releases from wer computer before installing this concise yet comprehensive package. We won't need to make any adjustments or tweaks to enjoy wer media content immediately. Windows Media Player and Vista's Media Center will instantly recognize all wer files as playable.

Vista Codec Package does not contain a media player software and it will not associate filetypes. With this package installed we will be able to use any media player, limited only by the players' capabilities, to play all movies and video clips. Streaming video is supported in several formats in all popular web browsers.

We have the ability to choose what is to be installed and where to install it using the public redistributable. After installation we can select to remove specific portions without removing the entire package & can also re-add the removed items at any time.
