Words cannot convey how sketchy the MP4 codec scene was, pirating media in the Windows XP era. Every month you'd have to find some DivX CCCP K-Lite [cracked].7zip.exe and roll the fuckin' dice.
We were very proficient at reinstalling our operating systems.
I definitely don't miss having to install codec packs.
omg, klite code pack with media player classic. You took me back
Media Player Classic still rules. Feature-rich with zero bullshit.
I've been using PotPlayer for a few years now, didn't even know MPC was still around
