News

  • 2009-09-09: It's been a long time since the last release. Are you noticing a trend here?! We proudly present CCCP9+9, "NEIN NEIN NEIN". Yes, it was released at 9:09:09 GMT today! Download: Win7/Vista/XP/2K.
    • Things built with VS2008 SP1 and/or GCC 4.3.3. Using March 09 DXSDK.
    • All components built for CCCP show in file resource under "Special Build Description".
    • Updated components:
      • FFDShow r3065
      • MPC-HC r1264
      • Haali 2009-01-11
      • Removed Zoom Player
    • Added licenses which install to Legal folder if any such license exists for the project.
    • Use EVR-CP renderer on Vista+ if D3X* DLLs available, otherwise VMR7. Use Overlay for older OSes.
      • Added prompt on install if user has no D3X* dll's on Vista or greater (this check is identical to MPC-HC's) and lets them know they will need to install the DX End-User Runtime binaries in order to make full use of MPC-HC. Important for using EVR-CP without nagging message.
      • Disable Show OSD by default in MPC-HC.
    • Added VSFilter as preferred decoder in MPC (Win7 compatibility).
    • Added extra ffdshow components: ff_kerneldeint, ff_samplerate, TomsMoComp_ff, ff_unrar, ff_wmv9, and ffmpegmt.
    • Added mpciconlib (sans 256x256 icons).
    • Fixed installer not asking you to "Reset All Settings" if you were asked to restart. Added all post install options to custom page in installer.
    • Fixed Save Thumbnails feature in MPC-HC.
    • Fixed extra backup entries in Vista+ Default Program interface for MPC-HC.
    • Fixed CCCP Settings not allowing Re-Register checkbox if no players installed.
    • CCCP Settings: Added options for H.264 MT (Multithreading with ffmpegmt, still experimental), Theora, EAC3, and TrueHD. Only one option for DRC now (used by AC3 and EAC3). Added checkboxes next to Filetype Associations to use the icons in mpciconlib.
    • MPC-HC Options: Enabled MPEG2 decoder in MPC-HC by default, it causes less issues for the most part using Gabest's decoder in MPC than other commercial decoders. "Keep history of files" enabled by defualt, used by GTSdll. Disable Animation is disabled, and sub buffering returned to value of 3.
    • FFDShow Options: Enabled Theora, H.261, MP41/2/3, HuffYUV, SVQ1, SVQ3, QT RPZA, QT RLE, MJPEG, TrueMotion, CamStudio, Indeo 2/3, VP3, VP5, VP6, CorePNG, MSZH, ZLIB, EAC3, TrueHD, MLP, QDM2, MACE. HQRGB enabled by default, only affects screenshots taken with ffdshow with default settings. Reverted a "fix" in ffdshow which makes certain channels even softer in a 5.1->2ch downmix.
  • 2008-09-21: New pack at last, CCCP17, "Hero of the Workforce" is released! Lots of changes in this one, so be sure to check the changelog (conveniently located below). Special thanks to all the beta testers for this one, and especially the hardworking members of the CCCP staff who invested countless hours in testing, compiling, and recompiling/retesting - Myrs, Nich, Lord-, emptyeighty, checkers, anyone I may have missed, sorry, thanks to you too! Download: WinVista/XP/2K.
    • Updated ffdshow-tryouts to r2133
    • Updated Haali to 2008-03-29
    • Switched MPC, Gabest filters, and VSFilter to Media Player Classic Homecinema project. All at r796.
    • Bug: "Out of string range" fixed.
    • Number of physical cores detected at install (not logical processors because the ffmpeg patch does not properly support HT). Must use Reset Settings to automatically set this option in ffdshow, otherwise set it manually.
    • Updated Default Programs (Vista only) for MPC-HC and Zoom Player when installed with CCCP.
    • Settings app File Association should also now properly work on Vista (may have not before depending on environment).
    • Added S/PDIF options to Settings app.
    • Added custom icons and logos to MPC-HC by bb10 (main icon and logo) and Truth Unknown (alternative CCCP media icon). Still includes Chiyo-chan logo!
    • H.263+ and AMR now enabled by default for hopefully more 3GP support.
    • Various MPC-HC patches: tab order fixed in options, keys reverted to classic MPC bindings, internal subs positioned relative to video (should mimic VSFilter behavior) and buffering disabled, most internal filters disabled (as previously) to allow ffdshow decoding.

Latest CCCP (aka. Download Here!)

To make linking easier, and avoid broken links, we've replaced the mirrors with a script that selects a random mirror for you. If the mirror that gets selected is slow or down, cancel the download and hit the download link again and you'll get a new mirror.

Installation Instructions

  1. Download the pack. (duh.)
  2. If you know for certain that you do not have any other codec packs currently installed you may skip this step. Otherwise if you are unsure if you have other codec packs installed follow these instructions : Download CCCP Insurgent (CCCPI) (see below) and run it. The Codec/Filter Packs list should be filled with any codec packs that you currently have or might have had installed at one time on your computer. Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs and uninstall all the packs that were listed by CCCPI. Those that are marked with Uninstalled are no longer on your computer, so don't look for them. Confirm with "Yes to all" if you are asked whether to delete certain files or not. If you are asked whether you want to reboot then reboot, but after that come back to the Add/Remove Programs list and continue removing any packs listed as Installed. Do not touch the "Register Filter" and "Unregister Filter" buttons!
  3. Uninstall all other individual codecs and filters (like DirectVobSub, ffdshow, CoreVorbis, CoreAAC, etc.) You can keep DivX or XviD if you want to, or if you plan on encoding with DivX or XviD. They won't interfere with CCCP, so don't worry. You can also uninstall them now and install them after CCCP, it doesn't matter. However, they won't be used for decoding unless you change some settings - read about it here. CCCP is only a playback solution, so that is why you need to have DivX or XviD if you plan on encoding in those formats. Note: do not touch anything you didn't install yourself, or anything you're unsure about. When in doubt, ask in #cccp or on the forums.
  4. Reboot. IMPORTANT! Don't skip it because you are lazy.
  5. Install the CCCP. Be sure the Reset all settings option (at the end of the installation) is checked. If you are interested in changing the default settings, read the FAQ's and other documentation below.
  6. Watch anime and be happy. Or if it still doesn't work, read the Troubleshooting Guide. THEN watch anime and be happy.

Latest CCCP Insurgent
