Media players:
Media Player Classic
Notes: Good video player. Ok audio player.
DirectShow-based media codecs:
How to play FLAC files
Notes: To play in Media Player Classic we need a DirectShow filter. Illiminable OGG Directshow filter is a good one.
Monkey Audio DirectShow Filter Source Filter
RadLight APE DirectShow Filter
Notes: You need both of the above to play APE in Media Player Classic.
FFDShow MPEG-4 Video Decoder
Plays H264. Has versions to use CPU's MMX or SSE/SSE2.
Haali Matroska Spiltter
For the most popular mkv.
CoreVorbis
Open-source audio compression comparative to MPEG-4(AAC), higher performance than MP3. Aka OGG.
AVI files encoded using IV31 IV32 IV41 IV50
Some very old AVI files were encoded using IV50 (in my case). Microsoft disable the playback of these files in Windows Media Player for XP and onward. You now need to pay f**king $15 to get it from Ligos. Ridiculous! Rest free, there is an alternative site. Install iv5setup.exe here and use Media Player Classic to play these files in Windows XP. The big disappointment is that his doesn't seem to work in Windows 7. My suggestion: as soon as you get the codecs, convert these files to a more universal video format, don't pay the stupid Ligos.
