About ALF FreeWare VideoCODECs
ALF FreeWare VideoCODECs is a reference page that lists collections of third-party video and audio codec packs. Entries are grouped under AVI, QuickTime, MPEG-2 and AC3, MPEG-4 and AAC, MXF and other formats, and audio. Each entry gives a pack name, a version number, and the FOURCC codes and file formats it covers.
The page notes that some entries work only through particular interfaces, such as DirectShow, Video for Windows, or Media Foundation. It also states that one pack (Pinnacle miro RAL DVI) does not work on 2-CPU systems. The page does not describe how to install the packs, and it does not state license terms beyond calling the collection freeware in its title. Pricing is unknown.
