K-Lite Codec Pack 17.1 reviews

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....

This excellent download that just ended hours of frustration. Ahhh, Players weren't working, games weren't working, and I was on the verge of breaking down after reading so many tech forums .... this download repaired some broken codecs and got everything working in 4 seconds..... BYYYYYYYYYHHHHHHHAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!
Whoever is responsible.... Hats off and thank you for allowing the world to turn again....

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 also get crashes in explorer and media player.
and on my box it kills my media center~~~~~

This is the best codec pack ever made......THANKS SO MUCH.......

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.

i just recently installed the new 3.15 when ever i use the media player classic to play videos i get kind of lag time either the player hangs or it takes very long to load. tried reinstalling the codec as i though it was corrupted but it turn out to be other wise please advice!

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.

After about 5 days the soft is harming up computer.Crap crap soft, dont install it in any case.

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

The best.

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.

In my opinion this is the best codec pack since my friend suggested xp codec pack but i dont like it i think k-lite rocks and kicks all the others asses lol

Excelent... I'm using it on 32 & 64bit XP Prof... Play everithing without any problem... (incl. Mediaplayer10&11,classic & bsplayr also) Cool

This Package is really great.

I had a video coded with DX50 (DivX 5.0). I have already installed Xvid as well as DivX 6.4. But yet i could not play. The audio was OGG Vorbis codec. I downloaded Audio Codec. Audio codec was OK but video codec i could not. I installed original DivX 5.0 after uninstalling DivX 6.4 and XVid. But it did not work. I tried other packages even FFD. Finally i tried this. While installing it prompted me to remove all broken links of codec and i selected yes. Finally after installing everything worked fine.

Great Work. Keep it going..

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.

Thank you, its amazing that Windows Vista (all things to all people) can't afford to provide a dvd decoder to run on the Media player. Whats up with that? K-lite is the best!!

Nice codec but indeed system runs a little slower and certainly NOT all codecs work!
For instance FLV makes my BSplayer hang first also and after trying again ,the whole system hang and forces to reset/restart!!!
Not a nice thing indeed....

This codec pack works AWESOME!!! I have tried EVERYTHING to fix the video lag in my media player... I even had Dell look at it and they told me I had to reformat my hard drive and reinstall windows.... what a pain! and the video still didnt play in sync!!!!

This was such a quick fix, my videos play better than ever!!!

Thanks so much for the tip! I highly recommend the k-lite codec pack!!!

This is a crap!!!!
do not able to play many file Format have Problems with flash file also

Ok,i have tried a lots of codec pack..ant this on is the ONLYONE that worked on every macine i instaled..K-Lite is the best...now about some gyes that a having problems...99% of all your problems expirienced with K-Lite..is YOUR fault...how...it`s a high possibility that you did not update your graphics,mainboard..etc drivers..dont have any AV,AntiSpy,AD..programs instaled...or not upgrading defs...so:

Stop pising over a good work and loook in YOUR backyards first...

P.S.

I have installed this pack..maybe a 100 over times on 100 PC...and NONE,NOT A SINGLE ONE...EVEN A SMALL..PROBLEM WITH IT....I DONT EVEN KNOW DOES IT UNINSTALL...NEVER HADE TO..

Bye..and keep up the GOOD WORK

I CAN HEAR BUT NO PICTURE

thanks but one problem, when i open a flash file in my windows media player the video image is upside down! Any one got any solutions? lemar38 @ hotmail.com

reading its manual makes a knowledgeable critic of what is essential

for a standard-computer user i think the K-Lite Codec Pack FULL is the best solution ever so far that i have experienced !

BEWARE!!! This crappy codec pack WILL ruin your windows installation (ESPECIALLY if you EVER uninstall it!!!) DON'T DO IT!!! These Developers outta be hung (maybe they already work for Micro$oft!!!!)

I use windows Movie Maker on XP and needed to be able to watch a couple of files I downloaded from the net - great can view the films no probs. I go back into Windows Movie Maker to edit some video to find that it crashes when saving the final film. After that I click import video from Camera selct WMV crashes - select AVI no probs apart from the fact the file size difference...

I upgrade to Vista

Windows Movie Maker works fine, Windows DVD Maker works fine - install K-Lite Full now neither work again.

Is there a problem with the codec pack and WMV import export? I had it on both XP and Vista now which seriously limits the capability of the software.

I even contact M$ to find out what they knew but didn't answer me apart from disable all 3rd party codecs in Windows Movie Maker - Still didn't work.

It's very good. But it isn't fully compatible with Vista. Firstly MPC doesn't work with Aero, Vista changes Aero theme to Home Basic theme every time MPC starts, it really sux. Secondly, some video editing programs doesn't recognize all codecs to code video with. Sorry for my English ;D

To K-Lite Codec Pack developers.

Can I use it with vista......???

Crapy codec pack that actually damages your system. Use CCCP instead.

thanks!!! it's realy good!!!

I installed the 2.84 version but still can't play .rmvb files on WMP, and this thing doesn't allow you to uninstall it.

Just installed the Basic version on Vista Ultimate and it works like a charm.
Thank for a great package.

this nutse make pc slow

This codec pack is very useful :)

i also get crashes in explorer and media player.
and on my box it kills my media center
