K-Lite Codec Pack 10.6 Full, Standard and Basic reviews

Actually, I can play WMV files with Windows Media Player, Jet-Audio 7.1.9.4030 Plus VX, Real Player 11.0.5 but not Media Player Classic. Before, I used K-Lite 4.1.7 Full and everything is OK! Until I set up K-Lite 4.7.0 Full and I have such problems. I don't think "You need codecs from Microsoft to play WMV files. Those are normally bundled with Windows. Install "Windows Media Format Runtimes" and you should be able to play those files" is a solution! Thanks for reply!

@Lindsey
You can find a solution for that in the K-Lite FAQ.

Everything works fine, except for one thing. The .mov video files I added to Windows Movie Maker play, but there is no sound... the audio is missing. Can somebody tell me why this is?

Along with MPC Home Cinema this is the best media bundle available. We have been enjoying music & movies without need of any other packs. Best performance. Thanks

it doesn't play everything but it's really good,i still have VLC,just in case KLite fails

some FLV still can not be played.

@Dlucks

That is probably a bug in the DivX browser plugin.
If you want to play the files with Media Player Classic, then you need to download them instead of streaming.

@Tom Bird
Go to the codecguide forum. They should be able to help you there.

decent pack, except that when divx streams a vid from the net the audio seems to be fast forwarded at 200k percent, and I dont know how to associate firefox with mediaplayer, any suggestions?

K-Lite Codec Pack 5.4.4 Full

I have been using K-lite for years now, almost no version had a problem. I installed the latest one and now mp4 files play as audio but the video is not recognized.

What is wrong? Should i just wait for the next version?

I don't know but opening movie files are too slow with this latest version 5.3.0. It was OK when 5.2.0 was installed.

The team is very helpful because they put back the DirectVobSub/VSFilter v2.33 to the 5.3.0 pack.

The Vsfilter v2.39 crashes with the Subtitleworkshop v2 / V4. Many people don't know the reason of the crash is the Vsfilter 2.39. I try newer vsfilters 2.34---2.39, but everyone freeze the Subtitleworkshop...

So... THANKS FOR THIS, please let it be in the newer versions!

@shaun

Report your problem on the Codec Guide support forum and they will get fixed.

It is very likely your problems are caused by bad drivers. That is not something the pack is responsible for.

The K-Lite FAQ also contains very useful help. I suggest you read that as well before blaming the pack.

@Theo Double

Windows should already by default be able to generate thumbnails for MPEG files. That is why there is no option for it in the pack.

"it is not recommended to install codec packs". Well i should take this advice and not installing k-lite... Caused so many problems with the system :/

Thanks for this amazing codec pack and all the extra features! I would like to ask for something.
Can you add mpeg (especially mpeg2) in the thumbnail options? I know a lot of people that have a big collection of mpeg2 files and they can't find a way to see thumbnails in windows explorer.

Thank you

this is, simply put, the best codec pack available. I recommend installing over a fresh install of Windows XP SP2

@Tim

You can find the solution for you .mov problem in the K-Lite FAQ. See here:

QT Lite + MediaLooks filter

WMV playback is done with codecs from Microsoft that come bundled with Windows. You will have to ask Microsoft for help on that.

this codec pack is awesome and very helpful for me to view any files

downloaded this codec pack after having tried "Vista Codec Package 5.0.7". I am having the same problem with Klite 4.4.5 despite having installed the complete set.

While I am quite an experienced PC user (not afraid to edit registry entries, modify config files, etc.), I am not too familiar with codecs. Perhaps somebody here could help me troubleshoot the issue I am having.

I want to be able to play MOV (Quicktime) files made by my digital camera on Windows Media Player and particularly on Windows Media Center...so that I can play them on my TV through the use of my Windows Media Extender.

For some strange reason MOV files from my digital camera do not play on my Windows Vista Ultimate system unless I download and install Quicktime.

However Quicktime doesn't play within Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center, hence my interest in trying to find a code that will play MOV files within Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center.

I thought the K-Lite codec package would be able to do that, but it is not doing it in my case. Is there a particular setting that I need to choose, or do I need to modify the installation to install a particular component?

I am also having another problem (but of lesser importance since it is a unique case).

I have a wmv video that plays fine on Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center, but doesn't play on on my Windows Media Extender. Other wmv files play OK on the Windows Media Extender. Any ideas of what could be causing that?

this codec pack is awesome and very helpful for me to view any files.

i keep getting an error message sayin that my media codec is out of date..does anybody know how to fix this problem??..please email me or rite bck on this website if you knows..cheers

John, this will certainly solve your problem. Be aware that you do need to use a different player, because QuickTime is not good at playing AVI files.

will this fix my problem?: my quicktime player isn't giving me any sound, but the video(.AVI) is playing. I don't want to mess up my drivers

very very good, i love this site

This is the best codec pack i have ever used....................................
Thanks

Thanks for this great codec pack

@Squall

GSpot was not updated, it was removed. If you really want it get the Mega version of the pack.
The included MediaInfo tool supports much more file types than GSpot.

The changelogs on this website are often wrong. Visit codecguide .com to view the proper information.

Changelog states that Gspot is updated in klitecp 4.8.5 full, however it is missing completely from the installer options and is not installed at all.

Windows media player wouldn't play dvd's. Added the k-lite standard pack and now it does. excellent.

i hv installed the latest ver.
Mega Pack
but and facing a problem
the thumbnails of some codecs are not showing
like MKV , AVI , MP4 , bla bla bla
what should i do ?
i hv Windows Vista 64 bit

Still not fully compatible with Windows 7. Everything work fine except mkv's. Mkv movies are good but mkv animes causes blue screens. I don't know why. Windows Media Player plays them fine. There is a problem with the codecs and ATI GPU drivers I think.

I want now if it work's in Windows Vista Ultimate 64bits!??
Thanks

Everything Is READY!!!! when u install it.

Xcept...."MOV"

i couldnt get my MOV clips to work on MPC . i could only hear the audio.
i had to install QuickTime Alternative to make it work.
Plz see ino this problem =)

There Is Some Problem (Lagging) With MP4 And FLV....and some issue with mov that cause the pixel not arranged in some second in movie That in 4.7 Ver-- I will Be Pleased If
you Fix It In A New Version.... Please Take Care My Message Because I Love K-Lite

@RED

You need codecs from Microsoft to play WMV files. Those are normally bundled with Windows. Install "Windows Media Format Runtimes" and you should be able to play those files.

I can not play WMV file with Media Player Classic, there are problems with K-Lite 4.7.0 Full!!!

Hi, people. It solved some of my problem, but created another. I use MPC (or here I used MPC home cinema) and the player doesn't see multiple audio tracks. Only the first one. What should I tweak for the mpc to start seeing and switching between multiple audio tracks in mpeg2 files (vobs)? My previous MPC had this capability, but I uninstalled everything, when installing this new k-lite codec pack.
Thanks

Simply the best"? I don't agree with you because there are missing support for newer players like wmp 10 so, I had to use other players to watch my movies, my brother too. We have been using this pack since 2.20 but there have been problems in some of the later versions. can't remember which but bottom line we haven't had luck since 2.41 on our computers so we swiched codecs and players and all is working now.Simply the best"?
