Software and Downloads

 

The most important software for digital video management is here distributed in common categories. All software here is for Windows platform and most of it is Freeware.

To easily add playback support for most video formats including DivX, XviD, OGG and Matroska, get the DivX Total Pack. We also recommend you to download a good video player such as MPC or RadLight from this section.

Please remember that the codec packs will install decoders only. This means they are unable to encode or recompress media. Please install the required codecs separately to perform audio and video compression.
