Your stereo audio source is probably MP3 format? If so, enable MP3 decoding in ffdshow and you can enjoy upmixing to 5.1 channels.

this codek pack is everything u need to play allmost any video file. the only thing that makes this not worthwhile is the fact that if u have 5.1 setup u will not get any sound in your rear speakers when playing from stereo source.
so all in all a good upload just not what i needed on my system. If other ppl have the same prob, i can recommend trying gordian knot codec pack. It did the job for me.

@lg, regsvr32 error code 5 = access denied

The pack probably fails to register quartz.dll. That is a vital component of DirectX that is sometimes accidentally unregistered by buggy applications.

Manually registering quartz.dll might solve your AVI problems. If not, your DirectX installation could be broken.

I was having problems playing AVI files in any of the media players I have installed (VLC, BSPlayer Pro, JetAudio, Windows Media Player, Media Player Classic) - the audio tracks were garbled, faint etc... I checked for an updated Klite Codec Pack. At the end of the uninstall for the previous version, an error message popped up (see screenshot), I clicked OK and then version 3.25F installed - at the end of that procedure the same error message appears.

Any ideas? I tried googling with no success....

Still using 98 on one pc, installed v2.88 (last version for that o/s) and seems to have resolved a number of issues - now plays seemingly everything I throw at it, very impressed.
It did require a tweak in options to get dvd sound to appear, but no big deal. Working well.

I confess I haven't used it yet. My "3" rating is a rating based on the reviews.

Apparently, besides the many happy users,many people are dissatisfied, have lots of problems with compatibility, etc.

I have but one video file I've been unable to view thus far. I thought K-Lite might be the ticket.
But now I'm thinking with the potential problems I may be getting if I download K-lite, is it worth the hassle just so I can potentially view one video file?

Maybe not.

I had trouble playing DVD's in general before installing installing k-lite full 3.2.0 . I can, now, watch DVD's, but the sound is some sort of scratching (I think that's the term in English - I'm Danish) and it seems like it isn't playing in "normal speed", although it's set to do so...
Can anyone please help me with the audio problems? I have been searching Google for k-lite faq's, but couldn't find any sites.

Kristian from Denmark.

This pack solved my MPEG2 playback problems in WMP 11 in Vista. I had installed several free MPEG2 codecs, but WMP 11 would not use any of them to play a DVD.

After intalling K-Lite full, (no installation problems) my DVDs played no problems! Great Pack!

Great pack!

Those who say that it messed up their system are not telling the truth. That is likely their own fault. Blaming others for their own f**k-ups.

It actually is able to detect broken stuff and remove it for you. If you are prompted at the end of the installation because it found something broken, then just answer Yes to let it clean the broken entries from the registry.

A missing d3d9.dll message means that DirectX is not installed on your computer.

For those who have problems with BSplayer, try the Gabest splitters instead of the Haali ones. But even then BSplayer is very buggy. Just have a look on the BSplayer forums. Better use a different player.

I tried installing the K-lite Codec Pack, but somehow it can't seem to. At the end, there was a missing d3d9.dll message. When I got it from the internet, it gave me another message
