This package allows you to play Ogg Vorbis, Ogg Theora, Ogg Speex and Ogg FLAC with Media Player or any other DirectShow application like BSPlayer, Foobar2000...

The aim of this project is to provide the most complete implementation of the xiph.org codecs for Windows and Directshow. This includes decoders and encoders for all the xiph.org formats as well as annodex. It is released under a BSD license, so they can be used by both open-source and commercial applications.

Besides the directshow filters which many people are familiar with. The source distribution also contains many useful tools, for debugging and validating ogg files, which build on multiple platforms. There is also a .NET media player class which can basically provide an "instant" media player in any .NET application, as well as an early implementation of an apache2 module which can provide server side seeking (currently only of annodex files, but soon also ogg files)

Installation
Uninstall any previous version of these filters.(This is important!)
Go to add remove programs, remove oggcodecs
Make sure media player or any directshow applications are closed.
Run the installer.
