Don't EVER, EVER, EVER think about discontinuing MPC. Media Player Homecinema is, in my opinion, total garbage and doesn't work well. And it's very user-unfriendly.

MPC is without a doubt, the best Media player that is available for any version of Windows.

The few programs that are better than this are only available through Linux.

So-- please reconsider your decision to discontinue MPC. I'm sure I'm not the only user that will thank you for it.

cheers

Very nice as always, but please don't remove MPC Regular edition in the future version. I don't like Home Cinema because it doesn't have the DSM converter that Regular has. It's a great tool to extract things from mkv files.

Awesome codec pack. With this you won't need any other to play your media files and with a player supporting ffdshow and external codecs you will enjoy seamless playback for hours without a single playback error or missing codec.

I have used K-lite for years along with recently deceased KM Player (I know theres a new chinese site for it but the sound quality is horrible now) and now Im with GOM player.

I knocked off 1 star because recent K-lite 7.2 Mega Codec Pack did something and now all my media can't be associated to any player (not just GOM) I suspect its registry problem as when I uninstalled previous version of codec pack it detected broken/missing codecs.

Same old procedure uninstall previous version of K-lite, restart, install new version, restart never had any problems doing that before.

Ive used k-lite mega for a year or so with no problems....
But theres something wrong with the 1.16 mega and the 2.34 versions.

I had to system restore on one machine to clear up regsvr.exe and activemovie window problems on XP Pro SP2 and the machine i'm on now is gonna need the same treatment i think. Mega pack 1.03 is fine.

With the latest version 7.10 I'm not able to play some mkv files with Haali splitter.
Using the MPC's internal splitter or re-installing K-Lite with Gabest splitter for mkv and the file plays fine again.

Ease up Hatem.

Just follow Raymonardo's instructions: download http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/windows-essential-20071007.zip and extract. Copy the five dll files to C:\windows\system32. That's it.

Worked like a charm. Thanks Raymonardo.

I tested v5.61 to v6.5 on XPSP3 and there's no audio for rmvb. It always displays the COOK. I had to revert to v5.3 (I read somewhere that some people went back as far as v5.05 to get theirs working).

K-Lite is awesome for a freeware. I just hope they would address the audio issue with rmvb formats.

I read in a thread that you could go and configure the settings in ffdaudio for v6.5 but when I did it, the audio playback was horrible.

MPC-HC still has a few stability issues. Once those are fixed, I suspect that it will eventually be included in the codec pack.

This pack works perfectly on my Win7 Ultimate x64. Everything runs smoothly and no lag or freeze. However, on 64-bit pc, the marks deducted is due to its inability to generate video thumbnails. cruel thing to it as a 32bit pack will never be able to do that in 64bit explorer.

*While the x64 version can generate thumbnails, its codecs are slow. And the videos appear like having low fps. I wonder why they can't make the x64 as good as x32. The x64 will be my immediate choice once they resolve this.

OS: xpsp3 or vistasp2

While using mega codec pack v5.70 or v6.0 there is a problem to play the files with extension rm.

Btw,If we rename the .rm to .rmvb, then those files can be play normally.

and, if using Mega codec pack v4.85, everything is fine, without any rename.

Hope this problem can be solved in future release soon.

Thanks alotx.

I still have a celeron 2.6 with 128 of video memory... and after installing versions 5.8.3 and 5.90 I'm noticing video lags in all .AVI files. Don't know if it's because of my "ancient machine" but, older versions of klite mega used to work great. I'm thinking of going back to version 5.1. Hope the issue may be solved. Thanks anyway.

I agree with you.
That's why i'm here. Came to find answers.
I have a problem playing certain avi files...
The videos play halfway and stop or the audio plays while the video stays still.

Anyone, please help!!!

Movies play well on my Win 7 but these past 2 days, I am unable to get any sound out of the MPC - Home Cinema v1.3.1333.0. I have even tried playing mp3 using the MPC. All other audio functions & progs is running fine. Anybody else face this problem? Thanks.
