Simply, the best, I have used it and x64 pack for years..

Seems great.I could not play flash files (.flv) with bsplayer pro and i could not find a solution for days,only this package did the work!!

Bad! Very bad! I was using v8.3.0 Basic and everything was excellent.

Then I've downloaded v8.6.0 and that was disaster.

My MKV files were "screaming" in Windows Media Player 9/WinXP SP3.

Please, fix it asap.

Bravo K-Lite

All I wanted was to add FLV to WMP
I had installed ffdshow and several splitters, etc
Nothing worked

I installed K-Lite
then double clicked a FLV file and Vwala, worked like a charm

Loved the fact it detected previous codecs and had me remove them, found bad regisrty links, etc

PERFECTO!
My only wish now to have this player on my Symbian BELLE!

very good codec pack & intelligent design. how smart? after i clicked setup, it detected my existing installed media player codec pack v4.1.4 and asked me to remove it.

after reboot, i clicked setup again then followed the instruction. it has a choice for me to select media player or windows media player, which i'm using. it even helped to cleanup some of file broken links in the windows registry!

after installation, my windows media player works perfectly ok and i have no issue at all to play dvd interactive, .mov (qt), flv, rmvf at different screen size.

Big thanks to the Great Team!!!

Perfect! K-Lite Megacodec pack does shows thumbs on x64 Win 7. For thumbs in x64 you must ALSO install the codecpack 64 bit version. On x64 you must install 32bit and 64bit versions, in that order.

Just one small inconvinience. KLCP doesn't show thumbnails for all file types on my system (Win7 x64)
Same instalation shows thumbnails on other systems without a problem.

the repeat function(MPC) can only repeat 1 time when i run 2 programs simultaneously( 1 game and 1 music DVD(on MPC with minimized) ). I think it should be improved.

@Gorec, it was just a normal question... and as you can see, "67 people like it"...

btw I forgot to specify that on win7 32-bit the internal filter H.264/AVC (DXVA) is workin' perfectly... so great for untouched blu-ray 1080p video format :)

Mishu, dont be so desperate in your questions. It annoys people.

Can someone tell me if the internal filter of media player classic H.264/AVC (DXVA) is workin on win xp x86 sp3 ? For me it's not working :( ... it gives me an output error... plz help.

In K-Lite Basic 7.7.0 FFDShow does not loading in Windows Media Player 9 on MP4 files.

I don't know why, but I've tried version 7.6.0 and it is working.

I don't know where the problem is on 7.7.0.
I hope that they are goning to fix it.

For dude who has problem with Windows 2000.

Probably K-Lite won't work with basic Win2000.

You probably must have SP2 for that. Latest SP for Win 2000 is SP4.

Like for WinXP and Vista. For XP, sp1, sp1a and sp2 are discontinued from support, also Vista without SP.

Maybe NEW codecs won't work with that version of SP you have on Win2000.

I don't know. I havent seen Win2000 almost ten years.

This 7.5.0 version says that it works with Windows 2000 but when I came to install it on my Windows 2000 PC it popped up a message saying that I have to have XP SP2. Why SP2? I think they need to update.

One of the best I have ever seen. Just one request why don't you make similar one for Android... Thanks in advance and waiting for your new product...

For me it's perfect. I have used k-lite codec pack since 2009 and already recommended to my friends many times. The problem is some file types can't be displayed with an icon. Just like the .MKV (Matroska) format, It uses the generic picture of WMP.

@some guy
This pack already supports .mkv

@rectifierz
You can configure preferred language for audio and subtitles in Haali Media Splitter

the codec pack is awesome.

There is only one but: even though I don't like the format, you guys should implement the .mkv codec as well.

klcp is good but the new update is disapointed me...
now im playing OGM format must manually set audio and subtitle to show it....

perhaps u guys want to bring back OGM internal filter
sorry for my bad english...

if you can play movies in your media player but cant hear sound try to download xvid. it worked for me, i can play all my movies now

excellent choice for ppl who wants all codecs in one pack . i have been trusting k lite codec pack for years and i cant stop using the media player classic that comes with it because of its simplicity and options .

amazing combination keep it up and thx for spending your time for us we really appreciate it .

@Immhotep

Just try it for yourself. You have nothing to lose. The uninstall is very clean.

I was going to download the program after seeing it on Youtube. Now, I am really confused.

K-Lite is an excellent choice if you want to be able to play all video files. Not so much the included codecs, but that it sets up MPC pretty good and includes some useful tools. Sure many of the codecs and tools you won't use, but they won't hurt you either.

Can't believe a guy complained about a "missing" encoder, and thinks he speaks for "70% of the users" (where do these guys get those statistics?) - use Handbrake for encoding and MPC for playing, like normal persons.

This app has become completely useless for 70% of the people because MPEG-4 encoder (along with 90% of other useful encoders)in FFdshow VFW is GONE! For f@ck sake leave it as an option... I guess You don't want users to do their encodings anymore.

In the last 3 months everybody I know has said farewell to this codec pack because of this single flaw. Good luck with it...and btw, FAREWELL!!

just installed k-lite codec pack 6.6.6 such that i could play mts files. that worked but i can no longer play .mov files in windows media player. they seem to play in fast forward and the audio is a blur. any ideas?

Folks! All of you who have problems with these codecs and codec packs do the following: install Shark007 codec pack which is compatible both with Windows XP and Vista or its Windows 7 version that is fully compatible with Windows 7 which you can download from many web-sites.

I tested this codec pack in all of these three Windows versions and there were no problems and conflicts. Uninstall all related single codecs and packs and install this one and you will be able to play all audio/video formats in almost all popular players.

Only that you need is to configure it correctly and you cannot make mistake. Just don't forget to set almost all video formats Gabest and ffdshow wherever it is possible.

@jerome

You need to use the Mega pack, which contains x264VFW for encoding H.264, encoding with ffdshow is no longer possible.

I like k-lite, but I've an issue with the 6.7 FULL pack for encoding : in the virtualdub conversion menu > ffdshow, the H264 encoder is not listed in the ffdshow.. ?

I installed 6.7.0 Full version. It is still a little bit slow. Especially when opening wmv files. I think it is about Media Player Classic. Windows Media Player loads the files far better. I don't know if I should tweak something...

Version 6.5

I can play all video as normal but there is no sound

Totally mute, no matter what I've tried.

I'm having problems with subpicture buffering in this version. Before it went smoothly on 3 subpictures, but now it's terrible (even SD videos are jerky) and I have to keep it on 1 although that setting screws up all the fancy subtitles.

well it's handy n good one

whatever, i've got problem with FLAC sound. The solution just to turn it on in ffdshow audio menu.

For WMV problem, that not play smoothly.
Just try to change the playback>output in options menu. Try the VMR-7 or VMR-9.

The pack is awesome but last two versions are too slow. I re-installed 6.20 for a better performance. Everything is OK now. Please make something for the next release.

Thanks.

Hi, I've just installed the k-lite codec 6.40. However, it seems to be a little bit slower (not smooth with small lag) than 6.20 while playing video.

I reinstalled the version 6.20, everything works fine again. I experienced the same issue with version 6.30.

Could anybody tell me why? Btw, I'm using Win7 32bit system.

Why stop supporting rbmb format? You've already left QuickTime behind some time ago. The big advantage of this pack is compatibility of different formats, but now you are abandoning them one by one?

K-Lite Codec Pack 6.2.0 Full

this is simply the best codec pack available.it took me hardly seconds to overcome the problem of player different files in wmp 11.

well, i've installed v6.20
i realized something different about this version installer
it has no option to generate thumbnail preview for real video format (rmvb and rm). I think there's no problem with that since i dont use thumbnail preview too often since it may be lead to explorer crash but when I opened a real video format, my mpc and wmp cant open this file. They said i don't have any codec to play this format

this version can't play real video (rm or rmvb) anymore, how disappointing....

I recently bought a 1gb Intel N270 crappy netbook to get to grips with PC's (the first I've ever owned, but definitely not the first I've used). I wanted a machine to seriously abuse and to see how much I could squeeze out of how little.
I'll get to the point; I'm a movie, music and games fanatic, and I have to say this has helped improve my experience of video and sound quality immeasurably.

-----Quick Review - Read This-----

I honestly don't think that unless I shed out some serious cash on some dedicated hardware, that I could possibly improve upon the viewing and listening experience I've had with this AWESOME codec pack. That said, it does take some setting up, such as disabling one or two Windows Media Player update-type annoyances (Google for how), and, much like other specialized software, has a mountain of options, some of which can have undesirable results. On the upside, the majority of important options have additional information when hovering the mouse pointer over them, and are highly useful if you don't want to go thingying comething up!
So if you absolutely must have superior video AND audio playback (I've switched from VLC to this after about 2 days!), then this was made for you.
On the other hand if you just want good video and audio quality, stick with Internet Explorer for streaming (no, really - I've tested against Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera for video streaming - it's very very good indeed and almost as quick as Opera to start up - get divx, flash and any other plugins/addons that you come across as missing and you're sorted), and for audio and offline video and ease of use, VLC.

-----Further Info-----
If you do get any problems with file formats not working in K Lite, just try disabling them in the options and possibly re-set the previous player as default (Google again, if you're not sure).
That's it - it's 6:30am, I wrote this review listening to Beethoven's Symphony No.7 Movement 2 Allegretto, nearly wetting myself that it sounds so good. I HAD to write a review, just to get it off my chest how good K Lite really is.
No need to give this any marks - it's brilliant,
though it does take some setting up initially.
-Video and Audiophiles - this is what you're after!
-If you just want good quality playback without too much fuss. try VLC or look into optimizing your current player (the magic of Google, again).
Night all!
