K-Lite Mega Codec Pack 16.2.6 beta reviews

Quicktime alternative and K-Lite Mega Codec are not working for my QT movies!! I had to install quicktime standalone.

I think 1.44 is pretty good, thought during installation it said some codec is broken.(Nero) But overall, I think this is good. It updated QuickTime to v7 which can now view QuickTime format movie trailers. 1.38 included QuickTime v6.5

Are the problems fixed already?

Since 1.4x release...from 1.40 up until 1.43...got same problem!

It's had alot of problem!

Finally I think that 1.38 is the Best...

Not all of QuickTime Plugins in 1.4x? I had to uninstall Mega Pack 1.43 because of
missing quicktime plugins. I reinstalled mega pack 1.38 until this issue is resolved! This pack get's a 3 stars from me because of missing plug-ins.

I am unable to uninstall this codec pack. I am using win98 se, any suggestion?

Thank you for your excellent work!

A couple of questions:
-How reenable the MS-MPEG4 Codecs? (my video conversion app doesn't recognize ffdshow VFW).
-How use the "Updated Fraunhofer MP3 ACM codec"?
I see that both are in the "codecs" folder, but they aren't active. How install'em? (I guess that it's possible to use hacked *.inf, but it must be a better, "K-Lited", way).
TIA

i can't use bsplayer to open any video files,i don't know why. I have reinstalled the k-lite mega codec pack many times, the problem is still unresolved.

the same problem is found in 1.4.2 just like Dekhermoy said.

I don't know why but with this codecs my bsplayer doesen't play .wmv files !!?!!
Anyone can say what's the best way to install this, what components ?! ...

Big problem with this issued! 1.40

after almost to finishing install...
it say "some nero codec broken" & another one more codec is broken...I can't remember....& It ask for remove or not..

I click either "no" & "yew" (2-3 time to remove $ reinstall it...
Then it can't open any movie files...

(I choose the option use WMP to play all movie file)

so sad..:(

I should have also added the following:

Anyone having a problem with, 'with blurry or bleached playback'.
The cause of this problem was an alleged bug in the nVidia ForceWare drivers.
This is no longer the case with version 77.77 of the drivers.
If you are experiencing this on playback you may wish to download & update your
nVidia chipset based graphics card's drivers.

(Select your drivers @ this page:
http://www.nvidia .com/content/drivers/drivers.asp

Where it says 'START HERE', select from box 1:
'Graphics Driver'

from box 2:
'Geforce and TNT2'

from box 3: the operating system which you run. ( If you are not certain which
then:
Click on 'start' button on your PC's desktop & then click on 'Control Panel' on the window/menu that opens & then on the icon labelled 'System' - on the window that opens you will see under the 'System:' text the exact name & version of your operating system. )


For all who want to play those 'QuickTime HD' clips (the type that require the new H.264 codec), K-Lite Codec Pack will enable you to play them using your PC.

Save (or download) the files onto your hard-disk drive.

Rename the files from .mov to .mp4. (If you don't understand that then your system is set to hide 'known file type' extensions. If you don't know what
extensions are use google.com to search for 'display the file extensions in
Windows XP windows explorer' type exactly that - or better copy & paste it into google's 'search box' - the place where you type. You will now be able to see that the movie files you saved end with '.mov'. Select the file to rename it or if you don't know how, click on the file icon or name text ONCE with a left mouse button click & then press 'F2' key -at the top of your keyboard. You can now change the file's name. Windows will warn that your file may suffer if you change its 'extension', it won't in this case quite the contrary it will allow you to play it :). Change the '.mov' & type so that the file ends with .mp4 instead. Press return or enter or click the mouse anywhere but the file name text or icon to complete the name change operation.)

For those that are in the know:
Codecs involved: Haali's MP4 splitter & ffdshow (for H.264, AAC).

It is claimed that playback can be faster and more apt than even with QuickTime

itself. d0_0b

BTW
In previous posts I forgot to alter the default rating of '5'. Though infact I

would say that for philanthropy & effort the codec pack should get more than 5

& as to execution, considering it is provided at no charge then it is

infinately close to a top score. :D

To Nick (who, though this reply is to his comment in particular, sadly cannot be made aware of the following) & any of others having issues with iTunes & QTime Alt, the home page of K-Lite recommends:

To use QuickTime Alt. and iTunes together:
1. Uninstall QuickTime Alternative (or the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack).

2. Install iTunes. It will also install QuickTime.

3. Go to the Windows control panel (a.k.a. configuration) and click on add/remove programs (a.k.a. software).

4. Uninstall QuickTime.

5. Install QuickTime Alternative (or the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack).

As to the pack releases: I would certainly agree with those who strongly approve of this codec pack.
Some releases may have caused problems on some installation in the past, I have not experienced this, perhaps because I have used versions with no issues (from 1.17 & after or perhaps I did not use a version prior to 1.20).

You really should Uninstall All other codecs before installing this or any other codec pack.
If only this k-Lite pack would detect the preinstalled codecs and ask you to uninstall then before the inational new install took place.
It would solve some of peoples problems.
To use windows media player as the defult player, right click on the movie file and select open with/choose program select windows media player and tick the box = easy peasy :P
Fantastic Job to the Publisher of K-Lite Codec Packs :)

Any intention to update the QuickTime codec that comes with this? I can't run iTunes with this installed! And I want to keep this, cos it rocks!

hi all!
i use this pack for a long time, and i wery like it ... simply best solution.

i have just one question about it!

is there any chance that k-Lite Mega codec pack have support for a AACPlus Audio Codec??

thanks for k-lite mega codec pack 1.38....

simply the best codec pack out there.

iv also tried ace mega codec pack but that is truly awful.

klite mega codec pack forever!

Would be nice if the mega pack supported the latest DivX Codec. Otherwise, the ONLY codec pack that I use.

Excelent package, all in one, but does anybody knows if there is a mac version? It could be everything a mac needs to be a supercomputer video player, those already have a stunning hardware they only needs de software

thank you excelent codec pack

Simply the best. Distributed it for various people and they never had problems with media since then. I check this site regulary to make sure i have the latest version installed on my pcs

great codec pack, no erros just simply great and never let me down :)

Works great i love it. The only thing that bothers me is real audio, it dosent work I tried a stream audio file and MPC wouldn't open it.

Simply the best!!!

If author read these post, I'll make a small request: Can You add MJPEG codec into the package? Thanks.

Definitelly the best codec pack ever!!!

Since 1.35, an ActiveMovie window pops up when watching DVD with Media Player Classic. With 1.34 all works fine, without this annoying window. Is there a way to prevent it from popping up?

fantastic, never had a problem with it, just wish it'd come installed with stuff like pplive and other streaming media stuff.

a few problems here and there(mpeg2 files dun really work well ,dunno y) but still able to play most of my video files

recently i install mega codec pack. i m facing some problems with video colors. i have the geforce 5600fx and every time i restart my computer i have to go to geforce5600 properties and set manually the color. is there any posible way to corect that . sound now is better . keep up the good work !!! thank y

What is added to this "Mega" pack that is not in the "Full" or "Standard" k-light pack?

Thanx guys!!! Great work!!!

Guys, K-Lite Mega Codec Pack 1.34 already published, but you still didn't show it!!!!

I use it since a lot of time.
Easy and full. Very good codec pack!

Best pack of codecs!!!

Look, in new versions always they try to correct bugs... !!!!

So its same metter here !! see

\Program Files\K-Lite Codec Pack\info\readme.rtf

for more info ;)

great codec pack,
but one nitpick, i have many videos and ktvs that have different languages on left and right channels, before installing the codec pack wmp can "change audio and language track"... after install, cannot

Real Alternative 1.38 from 1.37 seems to be at least one change.

Please, explain what occurs?
Сhangelog of the version 1.30 is absolutely similar to the version 1.31.
About what new version in general there can in such case be a speech?
