K-Lite Mega Codec Pack 1.51
on 26 February 2006, reviewed by: Max
To follow up on my Feb 23 messages, for being able to play RMVB files and not RM files, out of desparation, I renamed the RM extension to RMVB and VOILA! it played. Now to rest my eyes after two days searching the internet for a solution. So my rating of this has now changed to a 5. Just thought this might help someone else.

I agree there should be more documentation. I suspect that the rm files I cannot open need an older codec, but which one. I even tried to download the "Real Alternative", but it said it was already loaded in this K-Lite Mega. So, unless I install Real Media, which may not play anyway because of outdated codecs, I won't know if my files are oo old or corrupted, or both.

Why you can't stream ASF or Pls audio files? Also,Media Player Classic keeps rebuffering? There a problem with K-Lite Codecs Mega Pack 1.50?
This needs to be fixed! I used K-Lite Codecs Mega Pack 1.38 without any problems except for watching movie trailers! Things need to be fixed with this version! Would like to stream ASF files again or PLS files (Can not render the file message keeps coming up?)
I have to give this pack a "3"! Overall, everything else works great!

you must use delete value on uninstall in
HKLM...WindowsNt...Drivers and Drivers desc keys
because when codec pack is uninstalled package removes all codecs

thanks for your great job!!!
however i see you updated QuickTime Alternative to version 1.68 and it seems to me codec pack V1.48 acts not friendly to quicktime movies. it plays the movie in a way that jumps from one or several frames to another without sound.

So I jumped thru all the hoops installing this because it says it would play DVD on WMP. Alas - it doesn't!!! Now I gotta uninstall this crap and re-install the correct codecs again - sheesh!
Waste of time!!!

Anyone else had a problem with Windows Media Player after installing this pack?
I now have a whopping great blank spot at the bottom of the display area. Almost like it's added an area for subtitles or something, but nothing comes up.
I tried an uninstall of the codec pack, but the blank spot remains! Every attempt to uninstall WMP and roll-baqck to earlier versions fails to get rid of this blank area.
It takes up about a thrid of the display area, so it really $uck$ when you try and watch something full screen.
any ideas guys? :S

Is there any way to play DVDs on Windows Media Player with this codec pack?, Cause DVDs work pretty bad on Media Player Classic ( just like a slideshow ).
Anyway, it must be my crappy computer.

I think 1.44 is pretty good, thought during installation it said some codec is broken.(Nero) But overall, I think this is good. It updated QuickTime to v7 which can now view QuickTime format movie trailers. 1.38 included QuickTime v6.5

Thank you for your excellent work!
A couple of questions:
-How reenable the MS-MPEG4 Codecs? (my video conversion app doesn't recognize ffdshow VFW).
-How use the "Updated Fraunhofer MP3 ACM codec"?
I see that both are in the "codecs" folder, but they aren't active. How install'em? (I guess that it's possible to use hacked *.inf, but it must be a better, "K-Lited", way).
TIA

I should have also added the following:
Anyone having a problem with, 'with blurry or bleached playback'.
The cause of this problem was an alleged bug in the nVidia ForceWare drivers.
This is no longer the case with version 77.77 of the drivers.
If you are experiencing this on playback you may wish to download & update your
nVidia chipset based graphics card's drivers.
(Select your drivers @ this page:
http://www.nvidia .com/content/drivers/drivers.asp
Where it says 'START HERE', select from box 1:
'Graphics Driver'
from box 2:
'Geforce and TNT2'
from box 3: the operating system which you run. ( If you are not certain which
then:
Click on 'start' button on your PC's desktop & then click on 'Control Panel' on the window/menu that opens & then on the icon labelled 'System' - on the window that opens you will see under the 'System:' text the exact name & version of your operating system. )
For all who want to play those 'QuickTime HD' clips (the type that require the new H.264 codec), K-Lite Codec Pack will enable you to play them using your PC.
Save (or download) the files onto your hard-disk drive.
Rename the files from .mov to .mp4. (If you don't understand that then your system is set to hide 'known file type' extensions. If you don't know what
extensions are use google.com to search for 'display the file extensions in
Windows XP windows explorer' type exactly that - or better copy & paste it into google's 'search box' - the place where you type. You will now be able to see that the movie files you saved end with '.mov'. Select the file to rename it or if you don't know how, click on the file icon or name text ONCE with a left mouse button click & then press 'F2' key -at the top of your keyboard. You can now change the file's name. Windows will warn that your file may suffer if you change its 'extension', it won't in this case quite the contrary it will allow you to play it :). Change the '.mov' & type so that the file ends with .mp4 instead. Press return or enter or click the mouse anywhere but the file name text or icon to complete the name change operation.)
For those that are in the know:
Codecs involved: Haali's MP4 splitter & ffdshow (for H.264, AAC).
It is claimed that playback can be faster and more apt than even with QuickTime
itself. d0_0b
BTW
In previous posts I forgot to alter the default rating of '5'. Though infact I
would say that for philanthropy & effort the codec pack should get more than 5
& as to execution, considering it is provided at no charge then it is
infinately close to a top score. :D

To Nick (who, though this reply is to his comment in particular, sadly cannot be made aware of the following) & any of others having issues with iTunes & QTime Alt, the home page of K-Lite recommends:
To use QuickTime Alt. and iTunes together:
1. Uninstall QuickTime Alternative (or the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack).
2. Install iTunes. It will also install QuickTime.
3. Go to the Windows control panel (a.k.a. configuration) and click on add/remove programs (a.k.a. software).
4. Uninstall QuickTime.
5. Install QuickTime Alternative (or the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack).
As to the pack releases: I would certainly agree with those who strongly approve of this codec pack.
Some releases may have caused problems on some installation in the past, I have not experienced this, perhaps because I have used versions with no issues (from 1.17 & after or perhaps I did not use a version prior to 1.20).

You really should Uninstall All other codecs before installing this or any other codec pack.
If only this k-Lite pack would detect the preinstalled codecs and ask you to uninstall then before the inational new install took place.
It would solve some of peoples problems.
To use windows media player as the defult player, right click on the movie file and select open with/choose program select windows media player and tick the box = easy peasy :P
Fantastic Job to the Publisher of K-Lite Codec Packs :)
