i uninstalled your mega codec on recomendation of roxio copy&convert it advised downloading divx,after getting halfway through converting several music videos and stops working,error with divx,i have uninstalled divx,and reinstalled the mega pack,this is fantastic,windows tried stopping the download,but overrode it!every film etc goes into the media player,it does not like some,but this can be controlled by advance settings in the options,great stuff,shame windows cannot help,they prefer to try and sell to you,not happy with you buying the computer off them,thanks k lite team and a merry xmas to all,eric..

This is the most Excellent Codec pack I 've eve use. However, since the 3.3 update, I have been experienced broken sound and discontinue video frames(sometime it only have 18-19 frame I guessed) or the Video and audio wouldn't synchronize when I play the MKV file on WMP 11. Is there any way to fix this??

@Squall0833,
From the K-Lite FAQ:
Question: Windows Media Player shows no video when a subtitle file is present
Answer: A solution for this problem is to use an older version of DirectVobSub. You need to install version 2.33.
Note from me: DirectVobSub 2.33 is also included in the pack. During installation you can choose between 2.38 and 2.33.

Yeah, it was the FFVShow problem on Windows Media Player, I changed the audio decoder and it fixed,
now i have another problem want to ask
this problem was found very early before until now.. because it wasnt so important and i didnt ask for it, if you know why, tell me, thanks.. :)
the Direct Vob Sub, which is auto launch when you start and play a video with subtitle file together (same name as video file), it plays video with subtitle automatically,
my problem:
when i play some of videos in avi format, the direct vob sub doesnt work, it launched but the video doesnt play, unless i took away the subtitle file from that folder or change the subtitle name...
if got a video have the problem, i can only use FFAShow to load the subtitle...
do you know why ?

@purple, They won't add QuickTime back, so stop whining about it. Just install QT Lite, which is from the same makers as K-Lite.
@squall0833, I have compared 3.4.3 with 3.4.5 and I am pretty sure your problem is somehow related to ffdshow. K-Lite allows you to choose between 3 AAC audio decoders. Does the problem go away if you select a different one?

Sorry, I was wrong,it wasnt 3.3.0, K-Lite Mega Codec pack 3.4.3 or ealier version all working perfect to me, I've tried just now by reinstall back 3.4.3 all perfect!
But i install back 3.4.5-3.5.3, the problem come back, as i said, some of mkv h264 file only video shown, audio is breaking noise in windows media player, and works well in media player classic..
Not only this problem, during play any format video file, i have lagness on dragging timeline, sometime cause the video playback stuck or malfunction. but 3.4.3 or ealier version doesnt have this problem,
I really dont know how to check detail for my mkv file. this is what i found..
Type: KLCP.Matroska
Resolution 1280x720
Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 1280x720 23.98fps [Video]
Audio: AAC 96000Hz stereo [Audio]
The detail above i found in MPC, if u have any idea to check my mkv video/audio codec type, please tell me.. thanks
Hope K-Lite team can solve this problem..

@squall0833, what kind of audio do those files have? I could be a bug in WMP.
@Alvin & Ken, I have never heard of .scm files before. So they are not common. I could not find a codec for it, so I doubt they can add support for it to the pack.
@Vassilis X, install "QT Lite 2.1.0" if you want a browser plugin for QuickTime.
@M, disabling "AVI splitter (gabest)" with the Codec Tweak Tool might solve it.

@J, dxdec.ax is a old divx decoder that is installed by powerdvd. Remove the file.
@Geo, the installer will prompt you when it is adviced to uninstall first. Otherwise you can safely install on top.

One question... if I have installed a prior version, like 2.25, and I want to update to the newest version, like 3.4.5, what's the procedure?
Must I un-install anything, or just install new on top of the existing old one?
