The current release contains a codec Settings Application which enables the user to choose a different splitters \\\'on the fly\\\' for specific filetypes. The application will also allow you to choose from 10 different speaker configurations from \\\'same as input\\\' and all the way up to full 7.1 channel output.

Restricted access is enforced. (User Account Control)
The Application allows each user to maintain individual codec settings while at the same time seamlessly integrating any administrative commands directly into the users account. New users accounts are detected upon opening the Application and automatically inherit the Administrators settings.

Codecs have been a problem for most users at one time or another. This is because there has never been an \\\'out of the box\\\' working solution that the average computer user could install and just have everything work properly from the beginning. There are several decent codec package solutions out there, but none of them did everything I wanted. I was always in need of a tweak, adjustment, or even a re-installation just to get the codecs I needed/wanted and most of the time, the file still didn\\\'t play properly. I\\\'ve never claimed to be a media guru. My media experience prior to creating these packages was to double-click a file I downloaded and hope that it played.

It does not contain a media player and it does not associate file-types. With this codec package installed you will be able to use any media player, limited only by the players\\\' capabilities, to play all movies and video clips. Streaming video is supported in several formats in all popular web browsers. Users of VCP have the ability to choose what is installed and where to install it using the public redistributable. After the codec installation you can select to remove specific portions without removing the entire codec package. You can also re-add the removed items at any time.
