VLC and you don't have to crappify your PC with various files. ;)

I have installed VLC player but it will not play Quick Time and Real Player files.

Can you tell me how to ?

Also is FFDshow same as CCCP ?

Why nobody recommended K Lite Mega Pack ? Just curious or may be stupid question ?

Thank You

Depends on what you want to watch I guess. If one of the things is fansubbed anime, then you should go with the CCCP, because it was developed for that purpose, and you can also watch other things as well. Also, some fansubbers are turning to .MKV format, which allows for fancier and more detailed subtitles, and offers more options for the fansubber while they are working. I don't believe you can watch those with FFDshow (not 100% sure though).

I used to use the K Lite pack, but I found the CCCP to be more convenient, and lightweight.

The CCCP project is probably the best one out there. Its unde rconstant development for one thing, so you know the stuff is actually maintained. But the main reason is that the anime community release stuff in just about every format under the sun, so CCCP perfectly suited for just about anything you're gonna come across.

don't go for VLC as it messes up big style with soft subtitles just get the CCCP and your all set

I noticed a huge difference when I played .mkv files with VLC and Media Player Classic (CCCP Project). It's amazing how MPC plays it without stuttering.

Any anime lovers or .mkv users should use MPC.

Do NOT install any codec packs!

Honestly, you don't need them. They're unnecessary baggage. They (theoretically) slow down the system. They also tend to cause incompatibilities and screw up media playback (even in games!) if you don't know what you're doing.

Infact, I'd suggest you avoid any software/codec/driver "packs" like the plague.

Solution: Use GOM Player or KMPlayer. Both of them have built-in codecs that have been throughly tested and do not interfere with the rest of the system.

If you try to play an unknown codec, they'll find out which codec is needed and give you the appropriate download link.

      I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap

      Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.

      Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
