K-Lite Codec Pack 19.1.5 / 19.1.7 Beta reviews

"it is not recommended to install codec packs". Well i should take this advice and not installing k-lite... Caused so many problems with the system :/

Thanks for this amazing codec pack and all the extra features! I would like to ask for something.
Can you add mpeg (especially mpeg2) in the thumbnail options? I know a lot of people that have a big collection of mpeg2 files and they can't find a way to see thumbnails in windows explorer.

Thank you

this is, simply put, the best codec pack available. I recommend installing over a fresh install of Windows XP SP2

You can find the solution for you .mov problem in the K-Lite FAQ. See here:

QT Lite + MediaLooks filter

WMV playback is done with codecs from Microsoft that come bundled with Windows. You will have to ask Microsoft for help on that.

this codec pack is awesome and very helpful for me to view any files

downloaded this codec pack after having tried "Vista Codec Package 5.0.7". I am having the same problem with Klite 4.4.5 despite having installed the complete set.

While I am quite an experienced PC user (not afraid to edit registry entries, modify config files, etc.), I am not too familiar with codecs. Perhaps somebody here could help me troubleshoot the issue I am having.

I want to be able to play MOV (Quicktime) files made by my digital camera on Windows Media Player and particularly on Windows Media Center...so that I can play them on my TV through the use of my Windows Media Extender.

For some strange reason MOV files from my digital camera do not play on my Windows Vista Ultimate system unless I download and install Quicktime.

However Quicktime doesn't play within Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center, hence my interest in trying to find a code that will play MOV files within Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center.

I thought the K-Lite codec package would be able to do that, but it is not doing it in my case. Is there a particular setting that I need to choose, or do I need to modify the installation to install a particular component?

I am also having another problem (but of lesser importance since it is a unique case).

I have a wmv video that plays fine on Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center, but doesn't play on on my Windows Media Extender. Other wmv files play OK on the Windows Media Extender. Any ideas of what could be causing that?

i keep getting an error message sayin that my media codec is out of date..does anybody know how to fix this problem??..please email me or rite bck on this website if you knows..cheers

John, this will certainly solve your problem. Be aware that you do need to use a different player, because QuickTime is not good at playing AVI files.

will this fix my problem?: my quicktime player isn't giving me any sound, but the video(.AVI) is playing. I don't want to mess up my drivers

very very good, i love this site

This is the best codec pack i have ever used....................................
Thanks

Thanks for this great codec pack

GSpot was not updated, it was removed. If you really want it get the Mega version of the pack.
The included MediaInfo tool supports much more file types than GSpot.

The changelogs on this website are often wrong. Visit codecguide .com to view the proper information.

Changelog states that Gspot is updated in klitecp 4.8.5 full, however it is missing completely from the installer options and is not installed at all.
