shark, why not add an option to check for updates in the installed system which would then download without having to manually having to check the website?

There is a such a feature already, but I don't like 'pushy' software.
It will only remind you of an update AFTER 45 days has passed.
With Windows 7 being so new,
I'm updating constantly with new features and capabilities requested by my users.

Hello, Its been my experience so fa that Win7 already has every codec I need. I had the shark codec package in vista, but I will only install another as I need. I would advise against installing third party codecs this soon.

The reason I use this one is because shark states that he doesnt mess with the existing installed codecs.

ive got win7 64bit, installed Win 7 Codecs and 64bit addon.
Problem is audio stutter when playing .mkv ac3\dts files, tried wmp 32 and 64 bit. I have ste it to ac3filter
Did manage to set it to use coreavc.
In MPC when coreavc and ac3filter is set to preferred theres no problems, so dont know why this affect wmp

Am I the only one getting this inconsistency with the latest version?
Here is the screenshot from the latest version:
Here is a screenshot from the one I have installed:
I don't have the aac options.
Also, if it can hep, the Settings32.exe file I have was last modified on august the 4th and is 861 050 bytes
As a side note, for aac I was having playback problems from the start and just decided to use mpc hc's embedded aac decoder (this is probably why there are aac options now).Last edited by hdfrango; 15 Aug 2009 at 11:46.

Ok... I have to confess... I always used the k-lite codec pack but since the windows seven RTM come I tried the codec pack from shark and the final verdict is: K-Lite? Nevermore!
So I'm here to say the good job that you Shark have been doing...
Ok... i installed this latest version, so what is the best codecs configurations?
Keep Windows defaults codecs or change?

Same here. I used CCCP for years, but now with Shark's codec pack, I can't see myself going back to it. Keep up the great work, Shark.

:) NO decoders are changed using a default installation. I find the defaults do a good job about 90% of the time. The default installation settings are arrived at through user input.
There is always going to be a strange video thats going to give you some issue and usually for those, simply changing the splitter (to Gabests) will suffice. On rare occassions, you may need to change the decoders as well (to ffdshow) but that is rare.
If you still have a stutter after placing CoreAVC as the H264 decoder for the Microsoft Players,
it is probably time for a new CPU.
Why screw with a good thing? If your playback is working, don't mess with it.
The options are there for those that need it. When its working... watch a vid.
If you do screw with the settings and mess up bad, Reset All is your best friend.
There are 2 reasons why I suggest people do a clean install EVERY TIME.
The 1st reason is, i do not test upgrades. I don't have time for this.
The 2nd, is to avoid issues like this.
And, just to give you a heads up to what is instore for the future; I am currently working on a new feature that will save all of your previous settings and upon a new (clean) installation, allow you to restore those settings. I am even considerring to disable upgrades and force clean installs in light of this new feature. Even if you had performed an upgrade in the past, it still set all your settings back to what a clean install would have done anyway.
hdfrango, uninstall your current version, get the latest version from MajorGeeks (because they get the installation file directly off of my server) and you should have the AAC settings.Last edited by Shark007; 15 Aug 2009 at 14:06.
