So install CCCP and not a codec pack :)

CCCP = combined community codec pack

[Semaphor]

I do not see 2 codecs as a pack.

[FedRegister]

The current incarnation is only two codecs, but previous versions had more. If anything it's a testament to the maturity of LAV Filters now.

The version I knew when I started using it had only ffdshow.

[Semaphor]

Yes, but it's not what's commonly understood as codec pack.

[josteink]

I would say it's exactly what is understood as a codec pack.

[Semaphor]

I always thought codec pack was seen as a pack of several codecs and not just two.

I thought CCCP is a codec pack, it's in the name?

At this point, I think the only codec CCCP installs by default is LAV, and it may not even include any other codecs anymore; it's called a codec pack mostly for historical reasons. The main advantage of CCCP is that it has sensible default settings and a good configuration app. It also installs various non-codec DirectShow filters for stuff like subtitle support.

Gabest's FLV Splitter is a FLV decoder. Personally I do not think 2 codecs are commonly understood as a codec pack but HN strongly disagrees.

The funny thing is that when people complain about codec packs in general it's that they bloat your system with tons of codecs you do not need, not that you get one codec for nearly everything and one for FLV.
