@Alex & Flamberg

The pack is not responsible for generating thumbnails. Windows Explorer does that using a shell extension.

You must have installed something else that broke thumbnail generation.

Try this to fix it:
Start > Run > regsvr32 shmedia.dll

This is a very good pack. I use it all the time. However, it has troube with the ehome of VISA recently. It seems to be caused by a update of VISA, but I am not sure about this. The problme is that the ehrecvr.exe servcie always consumes all of my memory about 99%. After my try to disable some codecs, the requested memory is smaller. That is pretty strange! The ac3filter also takes about (471-125)MBytes if it is enabled. Thanks to the GSpot tool; I find a way to not use the ac3filter. Currently, it still takes 125MBytes!

Just went from 3.7.0 to 4.0.0

Media Player Classic was NOT included, in spite of all the options for associating files.

Had to download it manually, and all seems fine though.

I installed K-Lite Codec Pack full version. DVD playing is choppy but audio is good. So, the vuideo falls behind and then catches up with the audio. Any idea what's causing this?

Downloaded and installed the k-lite codec pack last night. It fixed all the problems I was having with my newly purchased dvd/cd player/burner. Also now I can watch DVDs on my PC. Thanks a million.

Try selecting the system default AVI splitter (Microsoft) instead of the Gabest one during installation.

This version has a problem with some AVI files, motion stops completely in certain frames for a few seconds. Older version 2.82 or VLC (Videolan) is ok playing the same file.

The pack ONLY configures the components that are included in the pack. It does not change any other settings.

The problem that you describe occurs for example when you play 5.1 channel audio on stereo speakers. It can be solved very easily by configuring the audio decoder (or the player) to convert the 6 audio channels into two output channels.

The pack has a speaker configuration option in the installer and also in its tweak tool.
