Download Combined Community Codec Pack 9.9.2009

A new release of Combined Community Codec Pack was released on Wednesday. That was allowed again, because the previous stable release was already almost a year old. Despite the name suggesting otherwise, the Combined Community Codec Pack is actually a directshow filter pack. It originated from the anime community and has since grown into a collection that should be able to play any audio or video format imaginable. In addition to the necessary filters, the media player Media Player Classic Home Cinema is also included and all components can be installed as desired. Below is what has changed in this release:

Changes in Combined Community Codec Pack 2009-09-09:

• Things built with VS2008 SP1 and/or GCC 4.3.3. Using March 09 DXSDK.

• Use EVR-CP renderer on Vista+ if D3X* DLLs available, otherwise VMR7. Use Overlay for older OSes.
  • Added prompt on install if user has no D3X* dll’s on Vista or greater (this check is identical to MPC-HC’s) and lets them know they will need to install the DX End-User Runtime binaries in order to make full use of MPC- HC. Important for using EVR-CP without nagging message.

• MPC-HC Options: Enabled MPEG2 decoder in MPC-HC by default, it causes less issues for the most part using Gabest’s decoder in MPC than other commercial decoders. “Keep history of files” enabled by default, used by GTSdll. Disable Animation is disabled, and sub buffering returned to value of 3.
