Clean Install of Win7 - Codec Installation Advice Needed
Good morning,
I’m doing a fresh install of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit tonight and I am looking for some advice on codecs to install to get optimum playback in Windows Media Player 12. Should I install a codec pack? should I install just the codecs I need? and what order should I install any codecs to avoid conflicts?
The main thing im trying to achieve is .mkv & .flv library & thumbnail support for WMP12. In the past I have used the k-lite codec pack & the divx .mkv codec from the divx site but I tend to get mixed results i.e sometimes thumbnails will be black etc
I had an issue on my previous installation of windows 7 where thumbnails would show for .flv and .mkv and appear in my library but sometimes the thumbnails would change before my eyes to the wrong ones. I have had it working fine on Windows 7 32-bit but I think that was more down to trial and error.
I would just like a clean, tried and tested way to get the above to work, help or tips from people who have would be appreciated.
Thankyou.
