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.

This 7.5.0 version says that it works with Windows 2000 but when I came to install it on my Windows 2000 PC it popped up a message saying that I have to have XP SP2. Why SP2? I think they need to update.

Last version which will install on Windows 2000 is 7.1.0.

Version 6.5

I can play all video as normal but there is no sound

Totally mute, no matter what I've tried.

well, i've installed v6.20
i realized something different about this version installer
it has no option to generate thumbnail preview for real video format (rmvb and rm). I think there's no problem with that since i dont use thumbnail preview too often since it may be lead to explorer crash but when I opened a real video format, my mpc and wmp cant open this file. They said i don't have any codec to play this format

this version can't play real video (rm or rmvb) anymore, how disappointing....

The 5.9.x version (including the update) has a problem when trying to play m2ts files using media player clasic! The video speeds up for no reason and the audio is full of stutter. Had to change back to the 5.8.3 version.

I've enjoyed K-Lite for a long time but I had to get rid of this latest Media Player Home Cinema crap. Crashed much too often and would sometimes play a file one day but not the next. Then there was a big crash last night that froze my computer completely.

The other thing that troubles me about the new Media Player is constantly trying to control other programs I have running. There is no need for it to do this. I had to close all programs and windows to play a video or I spent two minutes blocking requests from Media Player via my firewall.

That's how malware operates. not saying it is malware but I have not other programs outside of security which needs some much access and control of my computer.

Going back to previous version. I hope these issues can be resolved.

Downloaded latest K-Lite Codec Pack Full so that Windows Media Player would play MP4's etc. Worked great. However now all my jpg picture files wont show thumbnails in any of the folders. All that shows is a generic picture thumbnail. I have tried various things to fix it but it looks like I'm going to have to uninstall K-Lite to try and sort it out.

K-Lite Codec Pack 5.4.4 Full

I have been using K-lite for years now, almost no version had a problem. I installed the latest one and now mp4 files play as audio but the video is not recognized.

What is wrong? Should i just wait for the next version?

Meh, I'd rather just use a player that comes with a lot of codecs built in like VLC, I always have problems with codec packs. K-Lite is no different, it has many problems related to Steam applications.

Problem what should i do with the broken codecs? should i say yes to deleting reg entries or no. plus why does it say MP3 and others disabled in ffdshow config? all i know that it ruined whatever i had, except for ac3filter which is what i wanted.

Avoid at all costs
It says it supports most codecs, but certainly NOT all codecs work! It makes my BSplayer hang or report 'Cannot render file'. I also get crashes in explorer/firefox and media player.
Perhaps the only useful thing at K-lite codec pack is boost Ac3 audio hack but apart from that K-lite 2.89 codec pack is total crap.
