Although it might appear like some sort of Communist software, CCCP is
actually just a pack of codecs to help just about any video run on your
system. The full title is the "Combined Community Codec Pack". In reality,
it's more like a filter pack than a codec pack but the developers say that
"filter doesn't begin with C and we wanted a good acronym"! The developers
also like to point out that the name is also a pun on a Russian name which is
transliterated into the Latin alphabet as "Soyuz Sovietskikh
Sotsialisticheskikh Respublik", or "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics",
abbreviated as "USSR". Anyway, the Combined Community Codec Pack was created
to replace the filter packs provided by other groups which simply often did
not work properly or broke compatibility for other formats. In reality,
Combined Community Codec Pack is an extremely powerful Codec pack, playing
back effortlessly most popular formats and some unpopular ones too. There are
now fiddly options to get it working although if you have other codec packs
installed, you may experience some conflicts or significant slowdown in
reproduction of your films. *However, overall, Combined Community Codec Pack
is an impressive pack which deals with just about anything and I quite like
the attitude of the developers and their ironic communist branding.*Download
