| reply to WildGod Re: Cant play video or hear audio? LIST OF CODECs
About the Nimo codec pack, I would add this caveat:
There are two versions of these...collections of codecs, filters and tools that you'll find useful.
Most people will find the Lite version to be all they need... this contains only the most frequently used codecs and filters. The only advantages of the pro version are when u encode so its useless getting the pro version if u only watch movies and play games.

If you need some of the less common Codecs or just have to have everything available then the full Nimo Pack* is the one for you (but you probably don't need all that are included)
Nimo Codec Pack - FULL* Date : 23 August 2002 Size: 6.79 MB Version: 5.0 build 8 OS : Windows 9x/Me/NT4/2000/XP »www.divx-digest.com/software/nimo_pack.html

Disclaimer: As with anything else, read everything and pay attention to any warnings... Follow all directions when installing any software...
*WARNING: The free "Pro" version of the DivX 5.0 codec (contained in this codec pack) contains adware/spyware, which means that third party programs must be installed in order for this program to work during DivX encoding (DivX playback does not require the adware/spyware programs to be runnning). These third party programs are programs that displays advertising on your computer and/or retrieves information from your computer about your browsing/purchasing habits.
(No problem here though as even if you decide to go with the unneccessary DiVx 5, any spyware installed can be safely detected and removed by the current cleaners of choice, Ad-aware 5.83 &/or Spybot Search & Destroy)
Anyway, my suggestion is to consider going with the lite version as it installs all the common and most used codecs the full nimo pack installs tons of them....about 90% of which (most users) will never need.
