The Combined Community Codec Pack, more commonly referred to as the CCCP, is a collected archive of codecs (video compression filters) packed for Microsoft Windows, designed originally for the playback of anime fansubs.[3] The CCCP is developed and maintained by members of various fansubbing groups. The name is a pun on the Russian name for the USSR, СССР.

Purpose

CCCP was created to fulfil the following:

  • Alleviate the major problems caused by conflicting codec packs
  • Provide a video media playback standard for the anime community
  • Be capable of playing back most common video media files and formats
  • Be easy to install and uninstall — even for users with no technical knowledge

The pack is small and compact, containing only what is needed for most videos; it intentionally disables support for many codecs it considers unnecessary. It thus can potentially avoid problems caused by inappropriate combinations of filters by providing an all-inclusive playback solution. To view a CCCP-approved video, one must simply theoretically uninstall all other codec packs and install the CCCP. This philosophy leads to some disadvantages; since many formats are not enabled by default, they have to be manually toggled by the user if needed. Additionally, unlike many competing packs, CCCP is designed around decoding rather than encoding, and as such doesn't include many video encoders that other packs do.

The CCCP is made only for the Microsoft Windows operating system and works with XP/Vista/Win7. Older versions can work with Windows 2000.

Reception

In 2006, On2 began recommending the CCCP as a simple decoding solution to feed video and audio to their Flix encoding application.[4] The CCCP staff recommends to not use On2's included registry patch, but rather turn on or off any necessary codecs within the CCCP settings menu.[citation needed] In 2009, the German C't magazine recommended CCCP as the only trustworthy Codec pack available today.[5]

Technical details

Contents

Note: Installing all of these separately will not have the same effect as installing the CCCP because the ffdshow build (the core video/audio decoding software) is customized and so are all of the components' settings.[6]
