The included build of Media Player Classic is actually quite recent. It comes from another fork called 'Guliverkli2'. All security vulnerabilities that are listed at Secunia were already fixed long ago in both forks. So it is the Secunia tool that is outdated.
MPC-HC still has a few stability issues. Once those are fixed, I suspect that it will eventually be included in the codec pack.

I have found the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack to be useful and excellent - with one caveat.
It seems that the version of "Media Player Classic" included with the package is rather old. The Secunia PSI utility (Personal Software Inspector) flags it as obsolete and a security risk. There IS a simple fix, however. An MPC fork named "Media Player Classic-HomeCinema" can be substituted, works fine, and Secunia PSI is happy with it. The MPC-HC package is available via
<http://sourceforge .net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=170561>
The player included in K-Lite is "Media Player Classic" -- go ahead and install it, but then:
* Extract the second file "mplayerc_homecinema_x86_v1.1.604.0.zip" to a convenient location.
* Find and change to the "Media Player Classic" directory in the K-Lite install directory (default location is under "Program Files").
* Replace the "mplayerc.exe" file with the version from the extracted ZIP-file. This is most easily done using a dual-pane file manager; the one built in to "7-Zip" works fine.
* Done!

If full screen playback is not working that really is a driver problem (broken Overlay). Ask any expert.
An alternative solution is to change the video renderer in Media Player Classic options.
MPC Options -> Playback -> Output -> DirectShow video

Mega = Full + Real Alternative
@John Doro
If video fails to play in fullscreen, then that is caused by your graphics card drivers.

cmuda.sys belongs to the CMedia AC97 Audio Device driver.
I suggest you update that driver.

DVD's that use two different audio streams placed together in a single stereo stereo are extremely rare I would think. Normal DVD's use separate audio tracks for different languages.
But your problem should be fixable:
1) During installation select ffdshow (instead of AC3Filter) as decoder for AC3/DTS/LPCM.
2) In ffdshow audio decoder options, go to the Volume page and enable it. On that page you can find a M (mute) button for each input audio channel. Just mute the channel that contains the language that you don't want.
Alternatively, you can configure Ac3Filter/ffdshow to output Stereo (2.0) sound and use the Windows Wave settings to set the volume balance all the way to the left/right channel. I think this was your original intention. The reason why that probably didn't work is because the decoders were configured for 5.1 output. That means that stereo input will be upmixed to 5.1 output.

@batman:
CoreAVC has been integrated in QuickTime Alternative.
It seems klite mega does no longer include QTA
