K-Lite Codec Pack 15.9 reviews

The K-Lite Codec Pack is THE perfect choice for dealing with audio and video codecs on Windows enviroment (both DirectShow and Microsoft Media Foundation); I use it from a lot of years, never had a problem, never a conflict.

The Pack is based on the solid MPC-HC as default player and LAV filters as the core for the codec part.

The Codec Tweak Tool and GraphStudioNext are also great tools for changing all the intricacies of the filters, also for WMP.

Great user support too, and this is very remarkable for a free software.

one thing I have noticed in the windows media player that is if you play mkv file with subtitles in srt format in the same directory of the mkv file, then nothing displayed on the screen but it doesn't happen with mp4 files and srt subtitles files.

after install it , can't convert anything with jetaudio player, probably the LAV codec again, how to disable it?

Having been using K-lite for almost 10 years now. Best codec pack hands down.

video driver stoped work, this only happens with k-lite installed, and watching videos on youtube or movies by media player classic, my video card is a Amd R9 270x

Solved all my problems with HEVC or x265.

Uninstall everything regarding codecs, and just install this.

No Audio on MKV movie. Switching back to former version.

Lists of Menu are not all translated in Chinese_Traditional Form.

Call me stubborn , but I still use Baplayer 1.32 build 820
Since ffdshow is no longer updated, and got a H265 mp4 file to watch , I installed K-Lite Standard.

It turns out the LAV SPlitter is not compatible with Bsplayer and BS kept crashing. I had to disable lav splitter and use mp4 splitter and haali splitter again...

Still can not H265 files with BS though. If only the lav splitter can be made compatible with BS 132 ...

It will not load SRT files anymore.No more subs for me... Is this progress ore am i missing something here?

As always, trouble free installation and work as a charm. Thank you from Romania!

This Codec Pack has all what you dont need. Some Toolbars and crappy other software.

With this codec pack i have more trouble as without it.

At the moment its pants........ wont even load to library, just keeps freezing. well p'd off. really really really hate with a vengeance this crappy windows 8 (8.1)

thank you thank you thank you

I could hear the video on my windows 8 computer but couldnt see anything. every thing I read every where else was confusing and a pain in the ass and or cost money. this is simple it works and it didnt install a bunch of extra crap.

I had videos that were irreplaceable that I couldnt watch because of stupid windows 8 but thanks to you I can now watch them again!

I posted this link to Facebook to spread the word and help others with this confusing mess. thanks again!!!!

p.s. if it helps anyone reading this I downloaded the full mirror version

Why does it install AVG toolbar and Chrome?

Why is Chrome hidden from Windows explorer but not from the command prompt?

Is this some kind of rootkit?

Hi,

What a great stuff, thanks to you who created this damn great!!!

K-Lite has been my goto codec pack forever. Comes with a great tiny media player. Lots of great features. Thank you for making such a terrific product!

Hello

There is a problem with sound level is low compared with Windows media player.

Thank you

The official K-Lite installer does not contain Babylon or any other forced crapware. You must have downloaded a fake unofficial adware wrapped installer.

I`m pretty sure this won`t be published but wanted to send you a heartfelt "up yours" for including the nasty piece of software called "babylon" with this install -

Even though I very carefully de-selected all the additional junkware attached to this install and SPECIFICALLY excluded "Babylon" - your installer STILL installed it, and it is a BUGGER to remove.

I do not want my surfing habits sold on to a third party and neither do I want this trashware hogging my processor time sending that information to god knows what shady people so After a long search removing it from my machine , registry and browsers I will not be using your service again and be taking strenuous steps to prevent anybody else making the same mistake.

K-Lite Code Pack is a SOB !!

This Baby is so fast , light , and it runs almost everything. No way ho zay any other media player could match it. K lite ROCKS from the very first day it was launched. I love it !!!

Have used K Lite Codec Pack for years, and LOVED IT!! However, I upgraded to 9.7.5 a few weeks ago. The audio randomly starts being slightly off from the video in pretty much every format that I use.

I've gone to options, but any tweak I do only fixes the problem for a few seconds...then it's like a badly dubbed movie again, the lips are moving, but the audio either isn't keeping up or is a little ahead.

Could not view ordinary DVD on windows(xp) media player.
Downloaded the k-lite codec pack basic.

Installed all default setting, no problem.

Media player now runs DVDs perfectly. Thank you.

As far as I can tell, no virus, adware, scams or other crap.
Thanks again.

I have used this codec and its media player from years ago..
And i like the fast loading file, fast buffer, etc.

maybe its good idea, i hope the media player classic have some skins that can change like winamp.

Thanks

I am very pleased with the speed and completeness of the codec pack. I had a few problems with various players, the codec pack eliminated every issue instantly. Great job.

I wish to express my thanks. I just downloaded the standard codec pack, installed it for media player 11. It worked the first time with no problems, no hassel, no gimmicks. A truly refreshing internet experience.

Thanks again,
Martin

Mine is a very interesting experience with K Lite Codec Pack.I am using this since very long.But after 7.5 version a problem cropped up.

I am using Boilsoft video splitter and cutter also.They started showing video screen with blue and green stripes with audio.So i reverted to 7.5.But now i upgraded to latest 9.3 and problem is same.Struggled whole day with various tweaks but no use.

The most surprising turnaround solution i found is starting K lite codec pack player with a video.Keeping it in pause and minimize to tray.Then i opened "Boilsoft" software.To my utter surprise the problem is vanished and it is showing well video.Once it is ok closing k lite has no problem.

I am sharing this for the benefit of others.

This k-lite codec pack is really great. I am using this on my laptop. And it is quiet good. I've never experience problem playing my video's.

latest version of k-lite codec have not a facility of thumbnail view.

@Bill
Translations from MPC-HC are only included in the Mega codec pack, not in Full and Standard.

I can't change the language in mpc-hc. I can only see English. Without this problem, k-lite is very useful when I play video.
by the way, can I use it at school?

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.
