==A List of Commonly Used Players==<br />
<br />
===<span style="color:green">Recommended</span>===<br />
;[http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/ Media Player Classic (MPC)]:This player is included in [[CCCP]]. It is recommended that you use this player, however it must be configured correctly. Refer to [http://forums.bakabt.com/index.php?topic=13746.0 this] guide.<br />
Please note that this player has been superseded by Media Player Classic Home Cinema (MPCHC). Please use this newer version of MPC bundled with the newest CCCP (which contains a custom build of the player).<br />
<br />
;[http://www.inmatrix.com/ Zoom Player]:This player is '''no longer''' included in [[CCCP]] because the free version of it is no longer being developed and it may have playback issues in Vista. Very nice, relatively easy to use interface. Do not download the Professional versions, download the standard edition. The professional versions are trials, they stop working after a while. Has an installation center that installs all CCCP codecs for you.<br />
<br />
;[http://www.kmplayer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4094 The KMPlayer]:Good player with internal and external filter support, handles a wide range of subtitles and allows you to capture audio, video, and screenshots in many ways but for better user experience it needs to be [[KMPlayer| tweaked]] to display styled subs and ordered chapters properly.<br />
<br />
===<span style="color:orange">Acceptable</span>===<br />
;[http://www.allplayer.org/ ALLPlayer]:This player will utilize CCCP, but has a confusing interface and useless features. It is also rather homely. <br />
<br />
;[http://coreplayer.com/ Coreplayer]:Developed by the same team that developed the CoreAVC codec. It does not uililize [[CCCP]], meaning it only uses internal filters. Also it will not render subtitles. <br />
<br />
;[http://www.cowonamerica.com/products/jetaudio/ JetAudio Player]:Supports 57 file formats and it includes tools for ripping, burning, external recording, file conversion, and broadcasting. Features are highly customizable, but it has no built-in MP3 encoding.<br />
<br />
;[http://www.mplayerhq.hu/ MPlayer]:This player only utilizes internal codecs & filters. It will play videos as well as [[CCCP]] can, but the keyboard orientated interface can be confusing to people used to menu driven players.<br />
<br />
;[http://www.corecoded.com/ The Core Media Player (TCMP)]:Not to be confused with the Coreplayer (see above). It will work fine if you don't use the included filters. <br />
<br />
;[http://www.winamp.com/ WinAmp 5]:Will work fine if configured correctly. Subtitles must be loaded manually. <br />
<br />
;[http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/ Windows Media Player]:Not to be confused with Media Player Classic (see above). Will play fine, but will sometimes crash. Various other issues.<br />
<br />
===<span style="color:red">Not Recommended</span>===<br />
<br />
;[http://www.bsplayer.org/ BSPlayer]:We don't suggest anyone uses this player. It is filled with bugs. <br />
<br />
;[http://www.divx.com/ DivX Player]:This player is semi-compatible with [[CCCP]]. It will play MKV, OGM, and MP4 files, but it cannot play audio files. Not recommended for use. Tends to pixelate the image in certain instances.<br />
<br />
;[http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/ FFPlayer]:Doesn't utilize vsfilter. <br />
<br />
;[http://www.apple.com/quicktime/ QuickTime]:Will play AVI and MP4 files (depends on installed QT codecs), but cannot handle MKV or OGM files. Ignores [[CCCP]]. To play QuickTime files, it is recommended that you use the [http://www.free-codecs.com/download/QuickTime_Alternative.htm QT Alternative] which works in conjuction with Media Player Classic. <br />
<br />
;[http://www.real.com/ RealPlayer 10]:Loads [[CCCP]] with AVI files, but won't load MKV or OGM files. To play Real files, it is recommended that you use the [http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Real_Alternative.htm Real Alternative] which works in conjunction with Media Player Classic. <br />
<br />
;[http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ VLC Media Player]:This player supports nearly every media filetype one may encounter, but is not recommended for use. It does not utilize external codecs, and might not support some new features of the MKV container. It is currently still under development, but BakaBT does not recommend its use for the purpose of watching most fansubs (especially more recent ones). Only recommended to keep around as a last-ditch effort for playing stubborn video files.<br />

<hr />
<div>The '''Combined Community Codec Pack''', more commonly referred to as '''CCCP''', is a filter pack for Microsoft Windows designed for playback of most common media formats. CCCP is developed and maintained by members of various fansubbing groups, and is specifically designed for viewing anime.<br />
<br />
The name '''CCCP''' is a pun on the Союз Советских Социалистических Республик (Soyuz Sovyetskikh Sotsialistichyeskikh Respublik), the Russian name for the USSR; the Cyrillic name for the USSR is initialized CCCP, however it transliterates to '''SSSR'''.<br />
<br />
As of 2006, the CCCP is the official Matroska playback solution on Windows, having superseded the Matroska Playback Pack.<br />
<br />
== Contents ==<br />
''Note: Installing all of these separately will not have the same effect as installing the CCCP because the ffdshow build (the core video/audio decoding software) is customized and so are all of the components' settings.''<br />
<br />
'''Splitters and Decoders'''<br />
* CoreWavPack<br />
* ffdshow-tryouts (custom build)<br />
* Gabest's FLV Splitter<br />
* Gabest's MPV (MPEG-2) Decoder<br />
* Haali Media Splitter<br />
* VSFilter<br />
<br />
'''Players'''<br />
* Media Player Classic Home Cinema<br />
<br />
== Supported ==<br />
<br />
'''Supported Formats'''<br />
* Container formats: AVI, OGM, MKV, MP4, FLV, 3GP and TS<br />
* Video codecs: MPEG-2, DivX, XviD, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, WMV9, FLV1, Theora, and Generic MPEG-4 ASP (3ivx, lavc, etc.)<br />
* Audio codecs: MP1, MP2, MP3, AC3, DTS, AAC, Vorbis, LPCM, FLAC, TTA and WavPack<br />
<br />
== High Def h264 Playback ==<br />
The ffdshow h264 decoder included in CCCP may have issues playing high resolution (720p, 1080p) video on some machines. It is possible to install [[CoreAVC]] [http://www.cccp-project.net/wiki/index.php?title=CoreAVC alongside CCCP] to improve h264 decoding performance.<br />
