K-Lite Mega Codec Pack 17.1.5 reviews

Excellent codec pack! but i'm facing a problem. What is dxdec.ax error? When i open a movie the player will crash with this error. Please help! Thanks!

One question... if I have installed a prior version, like 2.25, and I want to update to the newest version, like 3.4.5, what's the procedure?

Must I un-install anything, or just install new on top of the existing old one?

I downloaded the newest version, but it doesnt include a popular file type called scm. Which I hope it can be added as well.

Works great on Vista. Installs smoothly even with UAC turned on.

Make sure to read the included FAQ if you got a problem. It contains lots of helpful information.

A lot of problems can be solved by updating your graphics drivers. Some NVIDIA drivers are really bad.

Thanks for the info INFORMER! sometimes this player works really weird. Sometimes when i installed.. everythg is fine.. sometimes cant play the codecs.. after install the quicktime alternatives i still can't open quicktime files and i found out that the registration boxes are empty.. but sometimes when i installed there are filled up. sigh..

With Windows Vista you have to right click on the downloaded file and choose "Run as Administrator". Then it will install the files in the right place and everything works fine.

Sooner or later the devlopers will get used to the Vista API and ask for administrator permission before installing.

I got some issue with the sound.

It sounds very weak with Media player classic compared to other players as WMP or Gom player.

Does anyone got the same issue ?

i installed lots of stuff from Klmega codec pack... but MPC is not playing asf files

It has always been excellent when using it in XP but now i'm facing problem using it in Vista. It doesnt work at all in my new vista.. not even a avi compressed file. Please help!

It is excellent, but one problem: VobSub version 3.37 creates problem in windows media player for Mpeg files. Can programmers add older version of vobsub, as that was fine

Just two wishes :

1) do keep Quicktime alternative ( at least its old version ) in K-Lite Mega Codec Pack


2) give final versions of codecs included

can sometime tell me what im doing wrong the mpc dont seem to be working properly for me anymore when im flicking through video files, it seems to freeze up..so if anyone could help itd be appreciated..

it was 5 out of 5 but now with removing Quicktime Alt 1 still too much.
Any one knows alternative package includes both Real and QT??

K-Lite Mega Codec Pack is awesome, but I have a stupid question, does it let you play DVD without a DVD player?

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 gave a 4 out of 5. I would have gave a 5 out of 5.
But come on guys, one of the reasons that everyone love your codec it is cause you made everything in one small package. No need huge individual software to play different videos or audios.

One of the main reasons I took is Realplayer and Quicktime. Pretty most popular ones that is on the net for playing movies and so on.

And everything else that come with it, it is extra sugar. The best!!!!

But when you start removing codecs like Quicktime you basically removing the core of MEGA CODEC. Just does not make sense, alternative quicktime is on the web page to download separate..why don't you just blend the d**n thing into your MEGA codec and just leave it. It you guys start separating certain codec from the MEGA codec then you guys basically have NO MEGA KLITE codec.

And for people that does not LIKE certain codec very simple, CHECK MARK OFF and it wont install.

Come on guys!!! head shake here. A bit piss!

I've been using Mega for long time and I gave it 5. The only problem I have with it is MPC which lacks skip-forward/backward buttons.
But, now that QT is removed, I don't see the point of Mega. Should we use Full + QTA + RTA?

seriously, i love THE K-LITE MEGA pack. thanks for all the gd work. yet pls keep it up:

all you needed used to be just IT. K-Lite MEGA.

now, pls continue to evolve along that one-stop strategy. it's this very convenient completeness + the quick 'n' easy way to install all of it, which set you apart, and made your pack such a unique offering for us.

or should, in these days of expanding bandwidth the installer package's size difference of a few MB really matter above every other concern??

maybe am forgetting any legal issues here, cuz all but that would beg to put back all these MPEG + QT "stuffs" etc.

Cheers for your consideration.

thanks for codec pack that K-Lite offer.
I Likes KLite from version to version,
it's a very convenient pack.
however after installed, my iTunes can't play normally.
it plays an inverted collors.
Thank you for removing QT alternative.

I guess I just have to install QT alternative separately then, huh? Still good though.

thank's for the new version....
btw... why the filesize is change, I mean, in the earlier version, the filesize is around 30MB, now it's only 16MB...???

Could it possibly put some tools... like oggxp and lamexp..

anyway... really good compilations codecs... :D

Mega + QT Lite = :-)

Takes just a few seconds to install and plays everything.

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.

It's the best all in one codec

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! :)

Contains all the codecs I ever need, didn't let me down from the moment I use this codec pack.

***To all those who are still wondering as to why Quicktime alternative is move, the answer is here:

http://www.codecguide .com

Put back Quicktime Alternative. It's NOT a "mega" pack without it.

Understand?!?!?!

Put QT Alternative back or someone will get spanked.

Awesome pack, but can someone explain why QT Alternative has been removed? Maybe I'll just stick with 2.10...

Why do you want to destroy the very foundations of my favorite one stop codec pack?? Put Quicktime Alternative back!!!!!!!

Better than "codecs all in one" package, keep up the good work.

I have been experiencing problems in playing ape and dts/wav files with any post-1.71 versions of K-lite mega codec . Any help is appreciated.

One of things why I used this pack is QT Alternative

v2.20: QuickTime Alternative removed.

WHY???

All hail K-Lite!!

My older .wav files wouldn't play and serveral .avi's. I tried uninstalling, reinstalling, and individually installing and uninstalling both DivX and Xvid packages many times. I even did the same with several versions of Windows Media Player. I can't tell you how much time I spent on this including searching for answers online. After unstalling the other codec packs K-Lite had everything working in one fell swoop.

Way to go K-Lite!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you...

realy I've been using K Lite mega codec for years it has always been the best .

I am using VISTA ULTIMATE and almost everything works great...
i just have one question:
does anyone knows why programs like "windows dvd maker" stops working with videos? when i try to use it with photos it works just fine, but with videos it doesn't...
this hapened after i instaled these codecs

i would apreciate any information anyone can give me

Thanks for the info Patrick. Looks like I might be up a creek then. I've installed this on my work laptop, so changing the sound card isn't an option.

Very frustrating...

Rubens

Rubens, to your post... I had the EXACT same problem. It was never a problem in XP HOWEVER, when I installed XP Media Center 2005 it started. Then my on board sound wouldn't work in Vista, although it claimed the driver was installed, can't remember if I ever solved that problem. so I went out and bought a 30 dollar creative sound card that had vista 64 drivers.

PS. fry's $uck$. they only have like 4 computers in the whole store that are on the internet... the freakin sales men, when I asked them to go on the internet to give me an answer they didn't know, "we don't have internet connection here" as he is standing in front of about 100 computers on display... or rather, because of their lack of internet, bricks on display. A cashier recommending the repair desk just to see if creative had vista 64 drivers out... gd**n

I've been using K Lite for years upon years and it has always been the best.
