Do you guys use a codec pack?

I'm asking this because I don't...in fact I have not found the need yet as VLC plays almost all types of files I throw at it...

And I've been reading lots of conflicting (and different) opinions on the use of codec packs...some say it's good while others recommend you to avoid it.

For example, read this:

Why Codec Packs Are Bad (HowToGeek)

And if you do use a codec pack, which one do you use? I know of these ones:

* K-Lite Mega Codec Pack
* K-lite Codec Pack
* Vista Codec Pack
* XP Codec Pack
* Combined Community Codec Pack (CCCP)

K-Lite seems to be the most 'popular' among codec pack users but I want to know which one you find the 'best' (that is if you use a codec pack lol)...throw in your opinions here...

VLC all the way: no need for a codec pack with VLC to save the day!

KM player is BEST

[safeguy]

I've tried KM Player but I didn't really like it. I'm better off with VLC media player and some skins to make it look nicer...

Back to topic, anyone here uses codec packs?

[noaccount]

nope i don't, why bother?

I keep a K-Lite Mega Codec Pack in my conputer. But not using that much.

[kimlanvn]

No, I don't. I use: Foobar2000 for audio files, DivX 7 and QuickTimes 7 for video files.

I used The KMPlayer back in the day, it was a good program then.

Then they updated.

It now slows my PC in every way.

AIMP2 and VLC is my present choices for Windows, for Linux, Audacious and VLC.

I've never seen a format one or the other won't open.
