Codec Pack info

hey guys and gals

which codec pack do YOU use for your vista machine

I've been using Shark's "Vista Codec Pack" in combination with Shark's "Vista x64 Components"

been trying to keep up with the versions but he releases a new one every other hour or something!

I've noticed lately that my Windows Media Player has been kinda slow to open ... I set my vista to use the 64bit Media Player

any advice on better codecs or what to do with the media player?

I haven't used any codec packs on Vista with WMP11 so far. For XP I used K-Lite which was formerly nimo.

I mostly use FFDShow since they got all what I need it 32-bit and 64-bit

I general codec packs tend to add a lot of bloat to the system
