Win7codecs

And that is fine Shark. I simply don't want to deal with anything being reported on my system, so I have made my choices as well.

The fact that I have found players that don't require the installation of any codecs works very well for me, so all is good.

Im not sure I understand why you refuse to use something thats safe. Even though it flags the package up it is completely safe and can simply be ignored.

HO True i did not C it LOL.
Unfortunely im geting this trying to download.
I will update soon i get it.
Thanks!

Thanks for the information. Seems the server was having issues.
I moved the updates to a different server so the download URL's should work now.

I just assumed he uses an old CRT monitor and has no idea how poor the image quality is with VLC.

I think you just needed to refresh the page to get the new URL.

Shark, one question - I know that you still say on the website that you recommend uninstalling the codecs - any idea as to why an uninstallation is needed, and if both the regular and x64 components need uninstalling prior to upgrading to a new version?

 

[Shark007]

1. sometimes a file is in use by the OS and doesnt get replaced.
2. I dont have the time to personally test upgrade scenario's.
3. When doing a clean install you will get the results I intended.
4. With the new save/restore settings feature on the MISC TAB, it is a
simple single click after a clean install to restore your previous settings.

Thanks for that - I have a feeling that many opt to install over itself (it has been discussed in the past, both here and at Vistax64) and having you around I figured I could get you to put in writing why you don't recommend - hopefully more people will see this and listen.

Well, the person who made it says it's safe and two programs I have entrusted the protection of my system to say there is an issue.

And, really, does it matter if I use it or not? With VLC and KMPlayer I don't need to download any additional codec packs.

 

[johngalt]

No offense, but I'd like to know *which* two programs you've entrusted your machine's care to say Shark's codecs are even *potentially* unsafe. I have tried *numerous* different 'safety' programs and not once has any of them barked about Shark's codecs. This is the primary reason I continue to use them on every W7 install I own.

I think what's been said is enough. Those who want to use the codecs, Shark says they are fine and everyone is happy. That's fine with me. I've already stated the programs and I dont think anymore needs to be said.

 

[johngalt]

I am not saying you *have* to use them - I am saying please that your *reasons* being based upon the program marked as unsafe is fallible.

Use what you want - but don't go around telling people that the program is unsafe.

 

[TheIgster]

Use what you want - but don't go around telling people that the program is unsafe.

I never said it was unsafe. I stated that two programs (anti virus and anti malware) both reported issues. Shark addressed those and that's fine. I never said it was unsafe, I stated that I didn't want to use something that was reported as unsafe by programs I am using th protect my system.

Everyone is free to make up their own mind and I am not trying to tell anyone not to use them.

 

[johngalt]

Indeed. Choose as you will.

 

[flez]

been using these for ages, long before win7, never had an issue, and i dont bother to specifically virus scan them anymore, but mines not a mission critical pc, its a movies/net box

Last time I had problems with FLAC, hope no such stuff happens now. Will post after install.

 

[Shark007]

Even though I released Win7codecs 1.3.1 and x64 Components 1.2.1 only hours ago doesnt mean development ever ceases. If you're interested in the latest and greatest I have to offer, I release updates on my forums constantly. Sometimes several versions daily.

If you already have 131/121 installed visit my forums for an update that will allow FFDshow to be used for MP3 decoding in ALL players including WMP and MC and for x64 TOO!

So much for the WMF lockdown. I hacked nothing. I've broken nothing. Uncheck the box, uninstall my software or use the Reset All feature and all native decoding is re-instated.

This breakthrough fixes MANY issues related to MP3 playback whether the relevant audio stream was within a container such as MKV or for standalone MP3's.

Do you have plans to release a celebratory version on October 22nd ?

 

[flez]

can this be slipstreamed/silent installed ???

I do not withhold improvements. I do not have a release schedule.

Commandline installation
