A codec pack that doesn't bloat Windows

X Codec Pack is a lightweight, easy to install codec pack for Windows PCs running 2000 and up.

Codec packs have a bad reputation because they often bloat your PC with a million codecs you don't need, along with the ones you do. X Codec Pack avoids this by only installing the most popular - XviD, FFDShow, AC3 filter, VSFilter, MediaInfo, Media Player Classic HC - which, in all likelihood will be the ones you need.

When you install X Codec Pack, the new filters and codecs will take effect immediately, and you won't have to make any tweaks unless you really want to. This is probably a good thing, as there's no X Codec Pack interface, per se - any changes need to be made to the individual codec settings. These are most easily accessible in the Start Menu folder, and bear in mind that each codec interface is slightly different.

As codecs are important, but pretty boring, most people will really appreciate X Codec Pack. It's easy to install, easy to use, and, if you need, easy to remove. If you're having problems viewing media files, X Codec Pack should be your fist port of call.

X Codec Pack is an excellent first step if you're having problems viewing your media files.

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
