I had a problem playing .avi compressed with VP7. I solved it by adding the specific line of subtype (MEDIATYPE_video) to VP7 decompressor through MPC in Options/External filters. It was the same line MPC reported as missing.

I'm a long time user of K-lite mega codec pack, but this version is terrible! it's full of bugs! When i try to open anything with homecinema classic, the player freezes for five seconds, then continues to play the file from 6 seconds onwards, but the playback stutters a bit. This happens for every single file be that avi, mp4, m2ts anything! I'm going back to version 4.9. which is the last stable version i've found. used v4.9 since it was released without a problem!!

Another very good codec pack is "Ace media codec pack"

I think they are not being as updated as this 1 though, but worked fine for my XP when I had that.

Pay attention if u have a 32 bit or 64bit os and get a pack accordingly

same problem as mike below, skipping audio on any movie file which contains mp3 audio. long term user of this codec pack, this is the first time i've had an issue. as greg suggested this is not a selected speaker config issue - any other suggestions? thanks everyone!

@Mike

You probably haven't set the correct speaker configuration. You can configure it with the Codec Tweak Tool, or during installation.

I downloaded the standard package just to watch movies online and the audio makes a weird scratching noise (sounds like the audio keeps skipping) along with the background music and I can't even hear the actors' voice. Anyone tell me how to fix it?

Hi, people. It solved some of my problem, but created another. I use MPC (or here I used MPC home cinema) and the player doesn't see multiple audio tracks. Only the first one. What should I tweak for the mpc to start seeing and switching between multiple audio tracks in mpeg2 files (vobs)? My previous MPC had this capability, but I uninstalled everything, when installing this new k-lite codec

For me it's perfect. I have used k-lite codec pack since 2009 and already recommended to my friends many times. The problem is some file types can't be displayed with an icon. Just like the .MKV (Matroska) format, It uses the generic picture of WMP.

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.

Actually, I can play WMV files with Windows Media Player, Jet-Audio 7.1.9.4030 Plus VX, Real Player 11.0.5 but not Media Player Classic. Before, I used K-Lite 4.1.7 Full and everything is OK! Until I set up K-Lite 4.7.0 Full and I have such problems. I don't think "You need codecs from Microsoft to play WMV files. Those are normally bundled with Windows. Install "Windows Media Format Runtimes" and you should be able to play those files" is a solution! Thanks for reply!

You can find a solution for that in the K-Lite FAQ.

Everything works fine, except for one thing. The .mov video files I added to Windows Movie Maker play, but there is no sound... the audio is missing. Can somebody tell me why this is?

Along with MPC Home Cinema this is the best media bundle available. We have been enjoying music & movies without need of any other packs. Best performance. Thanks
