The Combined Community Codec Pack, more commonly referred to by its acronym CCCP, is a collection of codecs (video compression filters) packed for Microsoft Windows, designed originally for the playback of anime fansubs.^[2] The CCCP was developed and maintained by members of various fansubbing groups.

The name is a pun on the name of the Soviet Union; namely, the Cyrillic alphabet version of the abbreviation of its full name (Сою́з Сове́тских Социaлисти́ческих Респу́блик). As part of the joke, the project's logo features the hammer and sickle and star from the Flag of the Soviet Union.

The CCCP was last updated on October 18, 2015. There are more up-to-date alternatives.
