avoid shark007 - sneaky Ask toolbar installation

Until not too long ago, I'd have agreed that the shark007 pack was one of the best codec packs. But now the Ask toolbar installation is snuck-in in there. You dont't have a choice of NOT installing it during the installation - you're only informed of the Ask toolbar being installed through the EULA. Hands up if you read the EULA's all the time?

From the horses mouth here:
Ask Toolbar installations.

So, I suggest you go with k-lite and not this spyware-ridden crap.

The installer is currently being modified to make the Ask toolbar an 'Opt out' option.
This will commence with the release of version 283.

Disable the DivX MF splitter on the MKV TAB (provides mkv thumbnail support)

A poorly constructed (or partially downloaded) MKV is causing the crash when Windows attempts to thumbnail it. If you run that MKV through Metafox, (available from my tools page) it will repair that MKV and allow it to be properly thumbed. (or maybe its just trash and needs to be deleted)

I'd think that would be about right on a 64-bit system. But having said that, I have six files named WMPlayer.exe on the System Drive. These appear to be three different versions but I only get one version when I launch WMP. No idea what that is all about but as long as the player is working, I don't really care. :D

I was reading this yesterday and I ended up installing K-Lite Full codec pack, wow, I wish I knew this before! It's pretty awesome to play .mkvs in WMP 12! Also, I noticed that Live Movie Maker 2011 seems to accept more file formats too.

OMG! it was working... it now gives me a beautiful blue screen... everytime ill try it. i think it is related to gpu/gpu drivers and or codecs as the mastroska logo keeps showing up and disapearing in a blink in the tray bar... i made a printscreen and a photo of the bluescreen i have to work this out the laptop is brand new and has barely something installed. first time i use shark codecs been used to use k-lite with windows xp without problems... coincidence?

help please

On the MPG~MP4 TAB of the Shark007 Settings Application, select 'use Gabest's blu-ray splitter'
when selecting that, checkboxes below are auto checked, allow that.

hope it works for you.

i came 2 this forum for info on the best codec packs out there 4 windows 7. so regardless of which 1's being referred to, its pertinent 2 this discussion, especially if u have win.7. i want 2 know the pros and cons of ALL codec packs. which will hijack my system or wont, which will play ALL, including avi and rar., and/or which will be compatible w/ windows media center/player. vlc, k-lite, shark, etc., i want 2 read about. even from those who dont use them. ALL codec posts are of value 2 ME and tech virgins like me, except those of arrogance, egotism and brown-nosing. this forum helps newbies make informed decisions regarding the best program(s) 4 our system, so i thank all of u 4 your posts.
