  2. Review - K-Lite Mega Codec Pack (Beta)

    7.6.5 Beta (Aug 15, 2011)

    Codec Pack - 4/5 (some issues in every release, but still best codec pack available)
    Adding spyware: -1 star
    Not mentioning about spyware on web page and changelog: -1 star
    Seting spyware as enabled for installation by default -1 star

    So 1/5 stars.

    I agree that authors of this pack deserve money for they hard wok. So there is nothing wrong in donations or optional spyware BUT DISABLED during installation BY DEFAULT,

    Best codec pack. I deployed it on >100 computers.

    However, it contains Yahoo Toolbar - it is installed by default, So this is another application for "careful installing".

    EDIT: Proof for 7.6.0 (too lazy to make and post screenshot for every version, but I verified that 7.6.5 beta contains toolbar too):

    This software contains a Toolbar !

    Proof: http://i1210.photobucket...CobraPL/NET/SPYWARE.jpg

    To see such screen you have to uninstall codec pack first, THEN start installation. Upgrading causes such screen to not show.

    Also please stop censoring information about spyware/toolbar in K-Lite Codec packs.

    You are K-Lite fanboy? I hope unpaid one. Next time before you call someone a "troll" do some research first !

    4.0 Beta 10 (Dec 6, 2004 - 7:23 AM)

    Ogg Vorbis is a general purpose perceptual audio CODEC intended to allow maximum encoder flexibility, thus allowing it to scale competitively over an exceptionally wide range of bitrates. At the high quality/bitrate end of the scale (CD or DAT rate stereo, 16/24 bits), it is in the same league as MPEG-2 and MPC. Similarly, the 1.0 encoder can encode high-quality CD and DAT rate stereo at below 48kpbs without resampling to a lower rate. Vorbis is also intended for lower and higher sample rates (from 8kHz telephony to 192kHz digital masters) and a range of channel representations (monaural, polyphonic, stereo, quadraphonic, 5.1, ambisonic, or up to 255 discrete channels). Ogg Vorbis is supported by: Foobar2000 - any version, Winamp since 2.79 or 2.80 STANDARD, XMMS since I don`t know when ;) Lastest Vorbis supports ~32kbps 44.1KHz Stereo. Lastest version is: Vorbis 1.1 aoTuV beta 3
