Le Combined Community Codec Pack est un ensemble de lecture simple pour Windows visant à prendre en charge la majorité des formats vidéo utilisés aujourd'hui.

Le titre complet est le Combined Community Codec Pack. En fait, c'est plus un pack de filtres qu'un pack de codecs, mais le mot "filtre" ne commence pas par C et nous voulions un bon acronyme. Le nom est aussi un jeu de mots sur le nom russe pour l'URSS, Союз Советских Социалистических Республик, abrégé en "СССР". Blamez Lénine et les Communistes. Blamez movax.

Blague à part, le CCCP a été créé pour remplacer les packs de lecture vidéo fournis par plusieurs groupes de fansub d'anime en faveur d'un seul pack fiable capable de décoder pratiquement tous les fichiers des groupes - sans rompre la compatibilité avec d'autres formats. Depuis, il est devenu un pack capable de décoder à peu près tout ce que vous rencontrerez lors de vos voyages sur Internet.

• MPC-HC no longer crashes during quick seeks with PGS subpictures when the internal subtitle renderer was used. Did not affect CCCP defaults.
• Anamorphic ASS is now handled correctly in the internal subtitle renderer. This is one of the oldest standing bugs there were regarding the ISR, and we all thank kasper93 for the effort he put into fixing this after Daemon404 successfully trolled people regarding it.
• The Play→Filters filter listing can now be easily copied to the clipboard, there is now a button for that in the top of the listing.
• UI language selection has been moved to the options in MPC-HC.
• Minor fixes and improvements in general.

• PGS subpicture parsing improved in LAV Splitter.
• LAV Video now supports VP7 video (for the two of you out there with samples).
• LAV Video can now use the Media Foundation WMV9 decoder instead of the old DMO decoder.
• FFmpeg used in LAV now uses native win32 threads instead of a pthreads wrapper.
• Various fixes included in the updated FFmpeg.

• VirtualDub library has been updated.
• Various ASS parsing improvements by Plorkyeran. These also remove the A (ANSI/non-unicode code page) Windows API usage, which also breaks non-unicode subtitle parsing. As noted, MPC-HC's internal subtitle renderer should be used instead in case you play such files.
• Loading of UUEncoded fonts from ASS files is fixed.
• A possible out-of-bounds array access was fixed. This has been in the code for more than a year, and no-one noticed it. It seems that no-one has subtitle files with UTF-8 data that end up in this area of glyphs (or the rest of the code actually makes the bug impossible to happen).
• Vobsub fixes that replace the old MPC-BE hackfix. Should lead to similar results as with the old hackfix, unfortunately. In MPC-HC these changes actually add proper fadein/-out.
