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.

  • FAQ - Lots of general questions. Everything from basic information on what the CCCP is, over explanations of what those MKV files are, and what those cryptic settings in the Settings Manager mean, to how to switch subtitles and audio.
  • Media Players - Detailed information and hints on the players that come with the CCCP, and also some information about other players.
  • Advanced FAQ - The page for the geeks. Advanced information on ffdshow and decoder tweaks, why the CCCP does what it does, and how it does it.
