ACE Mega CodecS Pack 6.03 - Professional Edition reviews

This codec-pack is just a piece of crap. DO NOT download this codec pack unless you want to F*** up your computer. it will just ruin your whole system. beside, it can not be uninstalled properly. its not worth of downloading people. Thanks to this F***ing software, my computer is totally screwed up. *sigh*. it causes a lot of trouble. i highly recommend you guys to d/l the K-lite mega codec pack.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!
THATS THE GREATEST CODEC PACK EVER MADE!!!!!!!
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!
T-H-A-N-K-S M-A-N!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seems to cause blue screen on my xp pro with /3gb switch, something to do wit 3dll file. Works fine with ordinary windows. Developers should check into memory allocation conflicts with /3gb on systems that have 4gb memory.
Otherwise, more than enough of codecs. Too much stuff and gadgets to get into.

thanks man, great job!

Five stars!! Best codec pack ever made

It $uck$, why the **** does it have a stupid virusscanner in it. Cant uninstall it properly. File Extensions aren't set to normal, it doesnt delete all files. BAH

hey, all these complaints and no answers, how the hell do I get rid of whats left of this after i uninstall it? i just want to get rid of that d*** tag that keeps popping up everytime i go to play a d*** video, i have all my codecs, they work fine, I just get sick of freakin haveing that d*** installer popping up over and over and over and me haveing to cancel it all those times.
does anyone ANYONE know how to find whatever is makeing this installer kick on? I cannot even find ace mega codecs on my system anymore! AAAAARG! please post a resolution to this problem.

that's the best codec i have seen before
so easy to install and uninstall.
i love it so mush
there is nothing can't wark without it.
thank's alot.

Best codec ever, it's also easy to install/uninstall.

However, it requires a fast CPU because of its huge size, but it's worth it.

For the most part the pack works good, however, no option exists to update a codec. EG. DivX is now 6.0

Also created problems with the game Freelancer, causing many ingame sounds to be missing.

YOU LAMERS!!! F*** YOU :) if you are too lame to use this you should stop using computers at all! sickos!

Ok i installed it and it looks nuts so much crap you can't make it any worse, well i unintsalled and expect to see the damaging result:-(

I can't seem to get it installed no matter what I do - it gets through the first part fine then when it gets to the "Dashboard is configuring your system part" it stops about halfway through and says error -1 index out of bounds and that is as far as it goes. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

If our CPU Usage for Explorer is going up to 100% and your system is very slow try this in CMD (please Google for more infos)
regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll
and tell everybody about this Pack,
because its the best!

Pile of absolute junk, it looks like it locks up Adobe Premiere but what it does is eat 50% of your CPU time for over 2 hours and then Premiere will start. Don't bother with the download, lots of junk included with this that has nothing to do with Codecs and the Readme's are non-existent!

glad it wouldn't let me install this pile of poop after reading what it did to some of these guys puters. every time I tried to download it kept telling me the files were corrupt. sounds like a dud!

Dudes you can p*** on this pack.It works like a car with sqared weels.Why the f*** did you put it in here?Now my computer crashed.
F*** with you all.
The team that made it are just a bunch of drunken bastards paid for drinking.
Have a nice day.

Download this codec pack _only_ if you know which codecs you want. If you are an unexperienced user, go for K-Lite instead.

ACE has a lot, probably _too_ much for an average user to cope with. Installing everything in one go will definitely wreck your system. Otherwise it is quite nice.

I've used Ace Mega CodecS for over a year and consider it indespensible. No more wasted time drilling through Google looking for individual codecs then hoping they're not buggy! Ace is stable and light on system resources. Contrary to some statements, it is updated regularly. Have also tried XP Codecs and K-Lite. Both are OK but not as complete nor as stable as Ace, which includes viewing and authoring tools. If you decide it's not your thing, Ace comes with an uninstaller.

The Ace Mega..6.03 is great but y recommend the authors to make a comprehensive install guide..because a lot of people just don't know how to install it and end up wrecking their system....y have installed this codec to 20,30 of my friends..none of them ever had a single problem...keep up the good work guys!!

This is superb stuff!

This is a great codec compilation. I'm sorry all of those di**o's before left bad reviews. As far as the dude who was complaining about codec's interfering with eachother, what a chode. Whoever wrote this, I send my thanks. Really, the author certainly spent plenty of time putting it together, so instead of offering him criticism, just thank him for providing free software that your cheap a***s would otherwise have to buy.

Again, great software, I encourage all to use it.

The only thing bad about this pack is that it is not updated often. I have encountered some minor issues with older version of codecs in the pack trying to play a video encoded with newer codec versions.

Now that Divx 6 is out, I wonder how long it'll take the codec pack's author to bring out an updated pack?! It's been half a year now since the last release.

One of the best codecs.

If you have the problem "Cuold not register DLL... error 0x80040154", and deleting the 3ivx directory does not solve your problem, try replacing the quartz.dll from DirectX 9c pack as described here:

One of the worst piece of software I have ever seen.
It wrecks your whole system, the uninstall fails and leaves tons of garbage behind in the registry.
It ruined the installation of Adobe Premiere and Sony Vegas.
So, if you want to work with video files forget this pile of crap.

this program is great because have all the the codecs i recomend install all of the filters and all of the codecs remember dont install the utilities and all other tings

Thought I might dispell some of the bad reviews, I have not gotten ANY viruses, and I am very impressed by this codec pack, it is the most comprehensive pack I have found yet, includes everything I need and sets it all up nicely, there should be no reason you need to uninstall it

Whatever you do DON'T download it, take the time to know what codecs you need because this one as said before is worse than a friggin virus. If ANYONE can tell me how fully get rid of this garbage email me at mosuke_kato_san@hotmail.com.

To use realplayer with Ace just select professional edition installation of codec pack but uncheck quicktime and realplayer add-on modules so that they are not installed. This will make sure realplayer does not get disabled.
And please do this and give a rating of 5 for this codec pack.

What can i tell "it is the best"
I'm adept of the programs who have evrithing in one piece, like "Ace Megacodec Pack all version" because i do not want my computer to block again and bive me a BLUE SCREEN :) seriously. So... I enjoy the Ace M.C.P. and I'm satisfied of evriething hi doo 4 me to play that ftupid coded file in all thease new movie codec programs. Please excuse my bad english! Y'm from ROMANIA "stupid and pure Country" u know aboutit... Not my fault cause i vash born in ROMANIA :((

I think , this is a good program. Why are u use the RealPlayer? That is a really bad application. I use the WinMp with this codec, and this work!

It's a pile of nuts!!! Do not use it! First it killed the Skype, the Real Player and it can't be removed. By uninstalling it wrecks the whole system...

a nasty piece of nuts - each and every edition of this codec pack

Pretty bad. i had this before, actually made video quality worse than it already was. i think the codecs interfere with each other or something. i only got this cause i was getting lazy to look for codecs and all but believe me, its worth it to do that than use this pack (especially when some specific codecs need updating). Now I only use a whopping 4 codecs in total (plays everything so far, not codec packs) and real/quick alternative. my video quality has improved so much more. Only people that like this are n00bs who dont know which codecs are good.

if anyone wants to get realplayer working with this try this solution bearing in mind it is a bit messy

install real alternative any version before 1.3 select all the the options and install the immediately uninstall click on realplayer and should say there is a file missing the reinstall realplayer and with a bit of luck realplayer should now work well it does for me

It is great but can anybody give me an answer why my Real Player won't start?It is blocked and even Media Player Classic won't play my radio stations.HELP

You can use GSpot 2.1 to view the codex required to view the video and some other information about the movie.

it`s realy a great Programm what I have seen....

Rating 4, because it`s a great Pack, has all you need (and a lot you don`t need). But it doesn`t work with some components, like the Realplayer. Be sure to set a restorepoint on your pc before installing. Uninstalling makes problems, it crawls into the whole system. Download the free "Your Uninstaller" and choose the "force to uninstall" mode, then delete the rest manually from "windows>>>programs". No guaranties, every system is different. I would recommend to download the "Refiler" (found on this pages)and for the rest use singlecodecs (wm9codecs, BCMpegs2, Ympeg). This saves a lot of space and causes no difficulties with other programs. For detecting codes download "G-spot".

doesn't work on win2k3! the dashboard just crash saying that no files was found (i was in admin account!!) after the installation crashes my directx component where just crashing and just cannot be initialised... so no game are supported after it...
