    I just got a new laptop with windows 7 as the OS.

    I was wondering if anybody out there knows a good codec package compatible with it?

    I used to use K-Lite but it is not compatible.
    Thanks

    Alternative is the well known free K-lite codec packages.

    Strange, worked for me. I always use it on every operating system.
    Its one of the very first additional apps I stick on a system when I get a new one.
    They even provide a 64 bit version: http://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm


    Also on top of it working with Win 7 already:

    We have developed a little tool that allows you to configure your preferred DirectShow filters for decoding H.264, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and VC-1 video in Windows 7. This makes it possible to use third party decoders instead of the native decoders that come with Windows 7.

    It's updated frequently, don't worry about it being in beta, it's been in beta for the last 4 years. :pac:

    I use it with MPC on my Windows 7 x64 Ultimate PC and I don't need any other codecs.

    I normally just go with K-lite and the bundled MPC-HC. Works fine on Win7 64-bit.

    I keep VLC as a backup (plays most things and doesnt need external codecs) but rarely use it, or need to.
