    Review XP Codec Pack

    Are you tired of those signs, windows, and warnings that tell you that you cannot play one of the videos you have stored on your computer because you are missing the codecs for it? Then you should know that there are two ways to solve these problems: the first is downloading each of those codecs individually and manually; the second is downloading a codec pack that avoids more problems.

    Precisely, within the second of the solutions is that we find XP Codec Pack, one of the best current options when thinking about video codec packs, one that allows us not only to find a simple interface for its installation but also stands out for the cleanliness of its different options, and for how fast it integrates to our audio or video player, avoiding those annoying ads about the absence of codecs.

    As we were saying, our recommendation to use XP Codec Pack primarily concerns users tired of receiving warnings about viewing videos on their computers. We believe that with this application, you will probably never encounter such a message again.

    And what codecs are part of the XP Codec Pack? If you are looking for a particular codec and want to know if it is included in this pack, let's point out that it offers the following: CoreAAC (AAC DirectShow Decoder), GPL MPEG-1/2 Decoder, CDXA Reader, AC3Filter, AVI Splitter, OggSplitter/CoreVorbis, Media Player Classic, FFDShow MPEG-4 Video Decoder, CoreFlac Decoder, Matroska Splitter, RadLight APE Filter, RadLight MPC Filter, RadLight OFR Filter, RealMedia Splitter, RadLight TTA Filter, The Codec Detective or VS Filter (DirectVobSub). As you can see, you will not miss any codec. Another aspect that puts XP Codec Pack substantially above several of its main competitors is that we will find an integrated multimedia player of the type Windows Media Player Classic. This is a huge advantage considering that we will not need to download any other program on our PC to enjoy the contents we are interested in.

    At this point, the integrated player may not be the most modern looking in its segment, but for a tool that is part of another, the truth is that its performance is optimal, even being much faster than others.

    At the same time, you should know that this program does not only provide you with a series of solutions regarding the installation of all kinds of codecs on your PC, but it will also download several utilities, some visible and others that are not, thanks to which it will be much easier for your system to play specific contents, so do not hesitate to install it if you want a much more complete experience in this regard.

    This codec pack is compatible with all versions of Windows, even though its name might make many people think it only supports Windows XP, which is not the case. No matter your version of Microsoft's computer operating system, you will always be able to take advantage of the different codecs that are part of this package to view the contents you want on your computer.

    Although we always like to talk about the interface of the different programs that we can install on our computer, in this case, especially when it comes to XP Codec Pack, we consider that it complies without problems because it is easy to follow the installation steps, it is a tool that is mainly intended to promote the use of others so that its visual aspect has little impact.

    Do you want to know what we have found to be the main strong points of the XP Codec Pack? We have to say that it is one of the most complete codec packs we can install on our computer, besides the fact that its installation takes only seconds and is very simple. Of course, as we have mentioned before, its content player also seems to be an excellent tool.

    The curious thing is that when we have to point out some aspects of the XP Codec Pack that have not convinced us, we have to stop at one that is contrary to what we have pointed out in the previous paragraph. When we try to uninstall this service from our PC, we can quickly verify that the process is not simple, which will be unacceptable for specific users.

    In any case, and by way of closing, we consider that XP Codec Pack is one of the most attractive codec packs that we can install on our computers due to the enormous amount of solutions that it provides without weighing too much or consuming more computer resources than those that are strictly necessary. For this reason, if you can't stand those warnings about the absence of codecs on your PC, you should install them as soon as possible.
