Codecs For Vista Media Centre

[Geko]

Need some codecs that will allow me to play H264, MP4, MKV etc on my Media Centre Extender. Anyone got any good solutions.

Or any good tutorials for a Vista Media Centre Setup. I have ripped all my music and I am ripping all my DVD's to my HD's for the media centre. But now need to configure it for my needs. MyMovies will give me a synopsis and help me get the video library and DVD library looking good I believe. I am looking for similar solutions. Cheers.

Try the K-lite codec pack for a start and visit - http://www.free-codecs.com/

The Combined Community Codec Pack is also highly regarded, and what I use in combination with Media Player Classic - http://www.cccp-project.net/

If you're willing to pay (or know where to look ) then CoreAVC is very good too.
