#INSTAL THE NEW FOR WINDOWS K LITE CODEC TWEAK TOOL INSTALL#

The audio/video encoding programs I use install most of their own encoders/decoders in their own installation folders, so I wouldn't want a codec pack installing a bunch of codecs either duplicating what I already have and confusing the issue or installing a bunch of stuff I don't need. I leave MPC-HC to playback video using it's own internal filters and ffdshow and Haali are basically just used for decoding while encoding, unless I want to test something in which case I temporarily disable the appropriate MPC-HC filter to use Haali or ffdshow. After the last format I manually installed everything the CCCP installs, MPC-HC, ffdshow, Haali splitter (is there anything else?).

I used the CCCP for a while but the way it's configured actually caused some minor playback problems for me. Also, it's slower to update compare to just grab the individual filter (set) I need directly. Using something like K-lite actually means more work to me since I have to select what I need. For example, 'LAV' by itself included spliter, video, and audio decoders, cover almost everything you need and more. On the other hand, the fact that it doesn't means a codec pack doesn't have to do much just bundle a couple filters together and you get a codec pack. I'm not trying to say bad things about codec packs, since I think we're long passed the point where the filter can massed up your system.

I still keep my ffdshow installed for audio decoder, but I think I'll eventually move to LAV audio as well. About the decoder, in fact, nowadays I use madVR internal decoder, which make things even more simple. I'll eventually replace haali with LAV when ordered chapter is support. I only needs mkv splitter(Haali) and h264 decoder and that's it. For my purpose (fansubs, mostly), I think it comes to the point where installing individual filters is no harder and using a codec pack.
