video and audio codecs (info + download) On this page we present a list of video and audio codecs that will help us play virtually any multimedia file, and also to work with these files video editing software and format conversion (VirtualDub, TMPGEnc, AviSynth, HC Encoder, HDConvertToX ...). We will start discussing what the most important codecs we have installed to work in different situations, and then see other less frequently used codecs. Ideally
never use
codecs packs and always try to install codecs separately. Thus, by knowing exactly what we are installing, we avoid conflicts between ourselves and everything will work fine. The packs also tend to cause problems when creating our own files and many versions include only decoder. If you have trouble finding a codec that is not on the page, do not hesitate to ask in the forum
. What I have already installed codecs? Before downloading and installing anything, should stop and think whether we really need a codec or not. Not for installing many codecs will work all better, but the effect may be just the opposite if you install multiple codecs for a same format. In general, one should not install anything new until they actually need it, since there are such players and coders who bring their own codecs integrated in such cases we would need to install anything else. If we want to see the codecs we have already in the system, use the program InstalledCodec (see
here), which will display a list of all installed codecs and we will even enable or disable them for, example, prevent a video can use more than one codec for playback. Codecs needed to play Video / Audio are those who need any movie buff to play the popular video files, which believe that they are AVI, MKV, MP4, MPG and DVD or BluRay.
To AVI videos
, the most common is that we are compressions DivX or XviD video and MP3 or AC3 audio. In MKV, MP4
and BluRay discs, there are often H.264 video compression and DTS audio, AC3 or AAC. MPG files For we find both MPEG-1 (VCD, HDTV) and MPEG-2 (CVD, SVCD, DVD) the case of video, and MP2, AC3 or DTS audio for the event. <<- In DVD, commonly found in MPEG-2 video and MP2, AC3 or DTS audio.
Most codecs to play are based on DirectShow system, but nevertheless there is another series of splitters (element during playback between tracks of a file and sends them to their respective decoders) and codecs needed to play certain video formats. To all these formats is designed this resource. Ffdshow filters <<- decoders of choice for almost any compressions both video and audio are the ffdshow filters. This is an open source project, free, and consists of a filter decoders (and encoders) used to play multiple video and audio formats. It is the ideal software we need to play almost any video format and audio.
ffdshow filters Download Haali Media Splitter To handle MKV and MP4 files, you need a splitter <<- players to recognize these formats. Haali Media Splitter allows DirectShow based players (such as Windows Media Player) recognize the MKV and MP4 container, among others, but remember that is still required to have the video and audio codecs installed. To deepen on the MP4 file playback is recommended to visit the section
MP4 format.

QuickTime Alternative and Real Alternative To play QuickTime files (mainly MOV) or Real Player (RM, RAM ...) have in their official pages of the packs needed. However, these packs, as well as the corresponding decoders tend to bring more things than necessary and therefore are slow to execute. So there are good alternatives, particularly
QuickTime
Alternative and Real Alternative
. Include the codecs necessary to play and manage files and Real Media Quick Time, along with fantastic player Media Player Classic. Besides installing the necessary plugins to any browser so you can enjoy online videos. A highly recommended alternative to the official house packages.
Download QuickTime Alternative Real Alternative Download Codecs needed to encode or edit Video / Audio
The above list contains the elements needed to play most video and audio formats, but in many cases served if we want is both reproduce, edit or encode our own videos.
There are some cases where we do the above is sufficient. For example, if the programs you use have built-in encoders internally, ie not using the codecs installed on your operating system. Such is the case of many utilities conversion to MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 (TMPGEnc, DVD Flick, HC Encoder, CCE, etc.).
In these cases, taking
DirectShow codecs installed for the program recognizes the original file (the file needed to play) is more than enough . However, many other conversion programs or editing work with based video codecs
VfW (Video for Windows
), so that based video codecs DirectShow
not serve us as much would be valid to decode the original file, but not encode edited file. In these cases, you must install VfW codecs type, which can coexist without much problem with the DirectShow codecs and used for different things. audio In the case of something like that happens, as there are editing programs that work with ACM codecs based
(Audio Compression Manager
) as
DirectShow interface does not provide methods
to encode audio. - DivX Codec (video)
The DivX codec codecs is one of the more renowned as a pioneer in his day, and includes a large number of films made with it. It is now rarely used due not only to the professional version was made for payment, but also the success that has its closest rival, XviD. The Official Site of DivX is: - http://www.divx.com There is also a setup guide here this codec, allowing you to use to compress videos in this format. Download DivX codec
- XviD Codec (video)
XviD is a codec like DivX, it is also part of MPEG-4 standard, but unlike the professional version of DivX which is to be paid is distributed completely free. XviD is definitely positioned as the preferred codec to compress movies in low / medium definition, compared to DivX is rarely used now. XviD success is mainly due to the image quality achieved, the amount of configuration possibilities, and above all to be free. Although there are several compilations of this codec, all originate from one official source, the XviD source code maintained and controlled by - www.xvid.org One of the best compilations is the Koepi, which is what we use and recommend in MundoDivX & H264, and whose configuration to compress video you can see here
.
Download XviD codec x264 Codec (video)
x264 is a free and open source codec to compress video tracks using the popular H.264 AVC (Advanced Video Coding
) format used particularly in MKV files and MP4 to compress videos in high definition. However, there is a limited form only to high definition, but we can also compress low-resolution videos in this format. x264 is available as a codec VfW
rate and as a command line interface, the version offered here is the first. In MundoDivX & H264 there is a manual configuration x264 codec that will help us to compress videos with him.

x264 codec Lame MP3 Codec (audio) audio codec is the most common, and indeed many programs include encoders and internal MP3 encoder, so most times we can save your installation . More specifically, one need only install this codec if there are problems with MP3 audio encoding, or if you want to compress the audio in MP3 format using VirtualDubMod
VirtualDub or similar program. Otherwise, not usually necessary.
Download Lame MP3 codec
alternative audio codecs ffdshow Although install ffdshow filters and would support most audio formats that we can find, there are alternative codecs that can be useful if at that is not the whole package you want to install ffdshow. Especially recommended is the AC3 Filter, because of their good support AC3 and DTS files and equalizer that brings built, allowing us to play at will with each channel AC3 audio. For these cases, we can install the decoder and also alternative support is disabled the format is from the ffdshow settings as enable or disable each codec individually. Codec AC3 Dolby Digital AC3
The format is carried by most commercial DVD, usually enclosing type (System 5.1), although there is also a stereo AC3 system (2.0). When we find this type of sound in AVI or other container, usually means that the audio directly copied the DVD on it, so enjoy the highest quality. To listen to a file with AC3 audio, we have installed the appropriate decoder, which in the absence of the AC3Filter ffdshow is DirectShow. also to AC3 audio handling programs that work with ACM
interface, such as VirtualDubMod, need the AC3Filter ACM. Nor should we forget to do the codec settings to hear the sound at normal volume. Everything is explained in the following download page:
Download codec Dolby Digital AC3 Codec
OGG OGG Vorbis The project is a totally free kind of coding that allows gain quality and improves audio compression factor with respect to MP3. One advantage is that, occupying the same as an MP3 file, the resulting quality is better. OGG audio movies not only have the extension AVI OGM, which is a different type of container and supports the AVI video, audio, selectable subtitles and chapters into one file. Unfortunately compatible format is a little room and few players or video editing programs support it. To play OGM and OGG hear the sound, just install Haali Media Splitter (to support OGM files) and ffdshow (such as OGG Vorbis decoder). The alternative is to install them OGG DirectShow filters.
Download codec OGG Direct Show Codec AAC The AAC (Advanced Audio Coding ) is another format of audio compression that emerged as alternatives to MP3. As OGG, get better audio quality in the same space. It has gained popularity as an audio compression codec used in high-definition files (MKV, MP4 ...). It also supports both stereo sound (2.0) and surround (5.1).
ffdshow filters include AAC audio decoder. There is an alternative to them, which is the codec CoreAAC based on DirectShow
. Download CoreAAC

audio codec codec packs
A bad option packages are codecs (such as CCCP or K-Lite), which installed many codecs at once and in theory allow the reproduction of many file types. However, these packages are not advisable, as they often cause many problems when it comes to play or encode, because the old versions installed, pirated versions do not work properly, install multiple codecs for a same format, and sometimes (least) even incorported a trojan or spyware. It is therefore highly recommended to have separate codecs, downloaded from the links provided above, and also you will know what versions we have installed and it will be easier to keep up to date. - short, what is there to install?
who does not do anything about video editing or even encrypt their own files, but only devoted to playing videos downloaded from the Internet, with filters ffdshow, Haali Media Splitter, QuickTime and Real Alternative is usually more than enough, they incorporate support for most popular formats. If edit or encode your own videos, in addition to the above, it should be installed codecs that will be used to compress. For example, if you work with XviD format, you have to have it installed. Generally, the most commonly used formats are DivX, XviD, x264 and MP3.
is advisable to have installed the Lame MP3 codecs and AC3 Filter VirtualDubMod if we use regularly. Both feature that will allow us to support ACM handle such formats in VirtualDubMod. In addition, the AC3 Filter incorporates an audio decoder AC3/DTS excellent, including equalizer, which is a great alternative to bringing decoder ffdshow filters.
- For other formats, the installation is optional, and in no case create a conflict with any other codec listed on this page, so if you want it installed "just in case" there would be no problem.
