Yeah I know all of you might probably have it already but an updated version of the popular XViD codec was released just about a week ago. XViD 1.2.2 is a bugfix release which contains several security related fixes and is the first update to the codec after about 6 months. Also, if you are looking to download just the XViD codec separately (not an entire codec pack), use the download links towards the end of this article. XViD 1.2.2 consists of the Xvid DirectShow decoding filter and the Xvid VFW Codec. For those who don’t know what this codec does, it allows you to play movies and TV shows (or any other video file for that matter) encoded in Xvid – a popular format for stuff released on BitTorrent.

XP Codec Pack is one of the most complete codec pack which helps you to play all major audio and video formats. And to complete your multimedia experience, instead of 3 or 4 different players you get one, simple integrated player that plays almost all audio and video files: Media Player Classic.

Vista Codec Package is a set of filters and codecs that will allow you to view your favourite video and audio files. Unlike some of the codecs, Vista Codec Package will give users the ability to choose what is installed using the public redistributable and after an unattended install, you can select to remove specific portions without removing the entire package. Vista Codec Package does not include a media player, so if choosing this codec pack, you might want to grab the latest version of Media Player Classic Classic as well.
