If like me your an avid anime fan downloading tons of anime (and lets face it you wouldn’t be here if you weren’t), the hardest tasks we face are playing the latest encodes, and finally archiving them.
Here I’ll go into just what i use for playing the releases.
Playing them is these days relatively easy and painless. Firstly a warning, do not use the K-Lite codec pack, it’s evil and harms your computer in the long run.

So, what do we use instead? Personally i recommend the Combined Community Codec Pack. It’s the only codec packed aimed at the anime community, their release is predefined to play everything. That said for some people they may find difficulty in playing H.264 releases, especially if they have older computers. In this case its better to use the CoreAVC codec. Sadly this isnt free, its $10, but it’s worth investing in.
A few releases have been encoded into .rmvb format, while you can download the codec from RealMedia, I don’t reccomend it. Your better of getting the RealAlternative Codec.
