安装了Vista Codec Package以后，你无需安装其他的codec或者filter，这个解码包囊括几乎所有常用支持格式的解码。

这个解码包不包括播放器，也不会主动关联相应的文件类型。安装了该解码包之后，你可以用任何的播放器播放DVD，电影和视频剪辑(比如Quicktime，AVI之类的)。同时，这个解码包也支持在网络浏览器中播放流媒体。另外，在安装后，你无需做任何设置便可立即享受视频回放。

Codecs have always been a big problem for the computer users. That's because there has never been a 100% viable working solution available for the average computer user. There are several good codec package solutions out there, but none of them did everything i wanted. I was always in need of a tweak, adjustment, or even a reinstallation just to get the codecs I needed/wanted and most of the time, the file still didn't play. I've never claimed to be a media guru. My media experience is to doubleclick a file i downloaded and hope that it plays. What I do know is how to package software. So I decided to package some codecs and share them with the rest of the world. With this package all possible conflicts are already dealt with. Many user suggested default settings are implemented,

If you have a suggestion of improvement, I'm listening.
