5/5Excellent

Great codec pack, offering support for every file I've ever wished to use. Easy to install, easy to uninstall - which you should do when you install newer versions, and I've had no problems with spyware.

You need this, don't convince yourself otherwise!

I use K-Lite Mega Codec Pack since it's first versions and recommend it to all my friends ;) Really useful pack.

But the best video-quality now in Nero Digital AVC codec... and unfortunately it isn't supported by K-Lite yet. I know only one codec pack, includes native ND AVC decoder: ~Edited by Administrator~
Last versions of FFDShow supports ND AVC too, but it is also not included in K-Lite...

4/5Good

The ultimate codec pack - never seen better myself.

Two annyoing things though:
1) No possibility to later change your mind and change/remove specific codecs. One can only totally install or uninstall.

2) After uninstalling, the codec pack itself leaves behind a file called "%SystemRoot%\System32\cpuinf32.dll" and some registry settings of specific codecs.

Ive used k-lite mega for a year or so with no problems....
But theres something wrong with the 1.16 mega and the 2.34 versions. I had to system restore on one machine to clear up regsvr.exe and activemovie window problems on XP Pro SP2 and the machine i'm on now is gonna need the same treatment i think. Mega pack 1.03 is fine.

As usual, you can't play some files using the default instalations (ie: *.ogm, *.midi,...) and it still installs some unnecessary plugins such as *.mp3, *.wma...

Unfortunately bad codec pack. It is't subjective opinion.
After very slow (!) installation there was many problems: in most applications there was no sound while playing video and sound files. While playing video there was no sound in all applications in Windows XP!
Please advise another big (~20 MBytes) codec pack.
