Pros: Lightning fast
* simple to use
* lovely default interface
* works straight out of the container
* unfastened

Cons: Would not play 99% as stated, a bit risky, very difficult to configure

Bottom Line: A codec is a piece of software that can code and/or decode audio and video documents. (greater facts right here: http://windows.Microsoft...s-often-asked-questions)

Do you want the k-lite codec p.C.? Properly that depends, there are humans that swear by way of them and do not seemingly have any issues with them, but i in my view sense that the crashes that necessarily come aren't really worth the hassle. (i'm one that has a tendency to push my computer to its restrict so if there may be a crash that could probably show up, it likely does.) i am sure not all of us will revel in crashes.

My idea is to no longer use a codec p.C.. In case you discover that there may be a media file that you want to play however can't, that you go to the website of the people who make the codec and get it from there as it have to be the maximum updated and there's regularly aid alternatives available on the web site if you stumble upon troubles. Codec packs additionally generally tend to put in way extra stuff than you want significantly growing the possibility of crashes and potently impacting the performance of your computer. This can be mitigated with a selective installation, however then in case you knew what to pick, then you may as properly get the files from the source.

When you have little or no concept what i'm talking about then a codec percent may be a viable choice initially as it is able to get you via in the short time period. Then you could educate yourself as you're able and deal with possible crashes as they occur.

Pros: K-Lite Codec Pack is the best video player which is used to watch video we can easily watch video by clicking on this player.

Excellent software. Never mind what you've heard, K Lite is the best and simplest solution for encoding and playback of multiple file formats. It DOES NOT wreck

Cons: K lite codec pack is not updated by automatically due to this the speed of the video is not good.

Bottom Line: K-Lite Codec Pack Full upgrades your system's media capabilities with a full package of high-performance audio and video codecs that can play just about anything. This free pack is more than a collection of filters: It also includes a variety of tweaks, options, and extras.

Hello Firenze do you have any knowledge about codecs in general? It doesn't seems like you do. Klite is one of the best set of codecs you can get if you just know how to use it. You know, there's a reason why Klite is rated so high, and that is because people out there think it's the best set of codecs you can get.

The only problem I've had with these packages is.
I work in real estate & a large part of my business is making virtual tours of houses and property and reviewing them before posting them on my web sites.
After I install any of these K-Lite packs, my virtual tours stop working on my machine. I've tried the configuring options on the packs & it doesn't help.
I can't uninstall and do a system restore & fix the problem, because it doesn't fix the problem. I have to wipe the drive and re-install everything.
I'd say that is a pretty big problem.
I give this 4 stars because it does what it is made to do.
If I didn't have the problem that I do, I'd give it a 5.

KLCP has specifically been designed around ffdshow. It will not "damage" performance or compatibility.

And far from installing outdated versions, KLCP is actually one of the best ways to keep ffdshow up to date.

Packaging ffdshow with complementary codecs in the manner that KLCP has does NOT degrade performance, and I defy anyone to explain why it would, much less provide proof.

Don't listen to those who only wish to spread inaccurate FUD and underrate good software in some attempt to pimp their pet player/package. Let this software stand on its own merits, of which it has plenty.

runningfool reviewed v06/06/07 on Jun 6, 2007

"Codec packs have been known to damage ffdshow's performance in the past. Some will override ffdshow or disrupt proper video display, and almost all will install outdated ffdshow versions."

if youre going to use a codec pack, this is probably the best one. unfortunately most users are unaware that including codecs AND ffdshow degrades performance.

"usually k-lite harms the system i know. "

No, it doesn't.

rogerthebat reviewed v12/06/06 on Dec 10, 2006

What did i do? i restarted my computer. closed as much as background programs i can. i uninstalled and disabled every program and filter that k-lite installation asked me.i installed mega 1.61 with all the g**d*** everything in it. if i had to select one option, i chose the biggest size. and then i installed the update. and then restarted my pc. what happened? every g**d*** format is working. usually k-lite harms the system i know. but my suggestion is just close as much as background programs you can and uninstall/disable whatever k-lite asks you too. and install any codec/filter you like or all of em. give it a try.

Only a 3-rate because I have a problem.
I am sure that somebody will be able to point me to the solution.
I want to play DVD-movies on my PC.

I do not have any media player except Windows Media Player 11.
I also do not want to install any other player.
The above means that I cannot view DVD movies on my PC - right ?

What did I do ?

I installed K-lite Mega 161
Default installation.
Can I view DVD movies ? The answer is no !
That's why I uninstalled K-lite Mega 161, because = no use.

Then I installed XP coded pack.
Default installation.
Can I view DVD movies ? The answer is YES !

My question :
Whatis the problem with K-lite in this case ?

Been using it for years, contains everything one would need and no spyware/adware etc etc as some people claim.

I discovered this when vlc couldn't handle some files for me.

Easiest, most stable way to get a pc to play media files.

CodecPack reviewed v11/07/06 on Nov 7, 2006

KLCP will work with *ANY* DirectShow player, including Windows Media Center. It doesn't install many codecs at all in the default profile. It will certainly not harm your system.

MPlayer still needs improvement, specially the GUI front-ends.

VLC works great, but has an awful GUI, so you need to find a skin that you like.

urbanriot reviewed v11/07/06 on Nov 7, 2006

Good if you want to cause all sorts of system instability with unnecessary codecs. Try using freeware and opensource players that will play all the files you need without compromising your system - like mplayer or vlc.

Thankx for the remedy, but how do you turn of winxp avi previewing.

appreciate

Dimon4ik reviewed v6/27/06 on Jun 29, 2006

No mistakes and failures in assembly K-LITE MEGA CODEC PACK 1.53 are present. At any viewing, preliminary, in a window, in any player, in any place! So why new updating gives glitches... I think a problem in a package of updating of codecs. Strange only that even if at updating codecs without installation DivX 6.2.5 failures all equally appear.

dzjepp reviewed v6/27/06 on Jun 27, 2006

The explorer crashing problem is because under winxp avi previewing is turned on at default, you need to turn this off otherwise browsing divx files will make explorer crash. It's not the codec packs problem, it's a problem with windows that was never fixed.

The newest updates to this codec pack allow you to turn off avi previewing during the install process.

Great pack as always.

Dimon4ik reviewed v6/20/06 on Jun 21, 2006

Yes at me too such problem under any player. After start beats out a mistake explorer.exe! - "Don't know why but I'm having problems with the DivX codex v6.2.5. When I try to drag-and-drop DivX videos in BSplayer or MPC, the program and explorer.exe crash..."

It has come to my attention that BS Player now contains adware; specifically, WhenU, beginning with version 1.38. The original K-Lite Mega Codec Pack version 1.50 included BS Player v.1.36. This new patch includes BS Player v.1.39, which leads me to suspect that it is infected with WhenU. Can anyone confirm this?

Pity they don't update the whole pack too though, since you can't make a switchless installer out of these updates. I still give it 5 for the fact that they made the effort to release this update though, as they could've ignored the playback problem.

Better this way: update releases-- and dated vs numbered too.
