All right, i'm huge a fan of K Lite Mega Codec Pack but this version has a major problem : the custom version of Media Player CLassic.
The WMR9 Rendere is absolutely terrible on Vista with this new version (and it wasn't on previous version) and the new filter added specifically for Vista disable the major parts of advanced functions in the player.
So I've reinstall Media Player Classic 6.4.9.0b french version which is a little slower but it's lookable now.
So I highly recommend to use previous version of MPC in the future release, even if the pack is still great itself.

I was a devot follower for months. Then the pack started failing. K-Lite Mega Codec Pack is called Mega or a reason. Whoever is putting this package together, thank you for working so hard on updating it. Though i do ask just one thing. DO NOT GIVE IN TO REMOVING CODECS. Unless the companies say they'll sue you, then i guess then take them out. Other wise tell them tough luck. For now how about calling the Mega pack K-Lite Stripped Codec Pack. But then im sure Christina Aguilera would get all pissy for the Stripped part...

I originally commented on the Updated 1.59 version saying how great this codec pack is.

Well now, the pack is failing miserably. This was the ultimate codec pack, which blew every other one away, now it's been slimmed down so much a lot of its functionality has been taken away. I won't be surprised if pretty soon it becomes so limited you need other codec packs installed to get the functionality of what the K-Lite Mega Codec pack was.

I'll probably start to find another codec pack in the near future, what a shame.

No more QuickTime Alternative...

What if the people from RealMedia come with a similar threat/request? And the sellers of the DVD codecs included in K-Lite? I'm sure the DivX company is not too thrilled about having their codec inside a pack either.

Giving in to requests to remove codecs leads to a very slippery slope.

I read that codec-packages might give you big problems later on so I only install
what I need for the moment. The K-Lite pack however seems better than others.
Quicktime Alternative missing in this package? Well, I always had some problem
when using Real Alternative and Quicktime Alternative together so I've been using
Real Alternative only and the... real Quicktime. Since I almost never watch Quicktime or Real movies, they are there just in case. This time I'll download the K-Lite
Mega Codec Pack 2.25 and I hope it will fix some broken codecs reported by
Sherlock - The Codec Detective. Let's see... Now where's the original K-lite site??
Before I found you, I thought that "Het Edskes" was the place. LOL. Since their
version is 2.10 only, I'll keep codec.com in my favs. Thanks! :)

It works perfectly on my system but i wonder why some of .OGM/.MKV movies are not recognized or having problem on playing. I try to download them again but it seems like the mega codec pack version of MKV/OGM has the problem.developers, can you just try to check it out.

anyways,Thank you... The mega codec pack has the only all-in-one codec pack....

As far as to what it does it's ok. But there have been some "bugs" with the last couple of releases of the mega pack. One is that with any of real streams they all "time out" after about 45 to 50 seconds of playing. Have no clue as to why it's doing that but some help on finding the settings in the registry to manipulate would be helpful. BTW, I get a blazing fast 3mb download on my dsl with a very small ping time so don't say it's my connection. Another thing that has irked me is that since this is a "mega pack" why hasn't "winamp alternative" been added to the package? Third is the way even with quicktime installed some transports are not being handled correctly if the the last extention is *.sdp . In conclusion please point me to a forum where such things are discussed and not some happy notes about how good the player is.
