Things the Shark pack does that CCCP (or Klite) cannot do . . .

1. Full color thumbnails including FLV's and 10bit MKV's
(also allows users to select at what point by percentage to grab the thumbnail)
2. Enable the Preview Pane for ALL newly enabled filetypes such as MKV and FLV.
3. Explorer properties are displayed for non native filetypes such as MKV and FLV
4. Updated often - and has update notification builtin
5. Allow use of the PDVD12 decoders for 32bit LiveTV
6. Supports the use of Xbox360 as Extenders to playback MKV files
7. Allows singleclick setup of Bitstreamed Audio
8. Support playback of MOD audio files and M4A files containing ALAC
9. Supports playlist creation for use in Media Center
10. Allow users to Enable/Disable codecs installed on their system
11. Funtionality such as Win7DSFilterTweaker builtin.
12. Support 'Add to Windows Media Player List' using rightclick on all files such as MKV.

On my Tools page are up-to-date SVN releases of MPC-Homecinema that are preconfigured to use the installed codecs including a version with MadVR setup and ready to go.

are there some ways that I can use this codec pack but use MPC Home Cinema as default player in Windows 8 CP?

I try to install MPC Home Cinema on Win8 but when I try to open it, it asks for DirectX Runtime June 2010,

is that safe to install on Windows 8 CP?
I am just curious...

On my Tools page I release pre-configured versions of this player that will use the installed codecs and will not give you any problems. Be sure to uninstall the current player before installing the new pplayer.

What you chose there is a lower quality renderer. With my release, that will not be required.

Tried your pre-configured MPC... Great tweaked! it is set to HQ render by default just like Im used to.
Thanks a lot... Loving it! this Windows 8 Codecs of yours with MPC will be my default player in my Win8CP.
Keep up the good work mate. You are making our lives more enjoyable ;)
