K-Lite Codec Pack 18.7.5 reviews

Suddenly I wonder if I was a victim of the 3vix mp4 codec stack overflow vulnerability.

@Greg:

All I can say is that if I had ffdshow video decoder enabled at all with version 3.6.2, it would eventually freeze up my pc.

The interesting part, I guess, is it would happen a couple of seconds after I press stop on media player classic.

I tried a clean uninstall and reinstall, and went to configure and just clicked "reset to recommended settings" and that seemed to fix the problem. Although since I had done very little to cause the problem in the first place, and undoing everything I thought I had tweaked did not seem to help, it's iffy why this worked.

I just installed 3.6.5, I'll see how things turn out.

I also had a problem with the audio decoder, though it wasn't debilitating. I had some anime .avi files with dual english/japanese audio. Suddenly after going from 3.5.4 to 3.6.2, playing these movies would bring up two instances of ffdshow audio, along with two instances of the winamp dsp plugin I was using (DFX), and played both audio streams simultaneously.

Opening the decoder and setting directshow to allow only one instance of ffdshow audio didn't help.

Then .flv files would have no sound.

I eventually just went back to 3.5.4

this is a great package but now im having problem with all you packages trying each one separate

this codec wont work anymore

i need i to test if my pmf's encode
dont worry the audio never played


also lately when playing avi files i get a duplicate video inside thats more to the right and blue

like a ghosting effect but in movie maker this does not show

@Lauren

Washed out colors can usually be solved by changing the video renderer in your player.

Sometimes it can also help to reset the Overlay control and/or color correction settings in your graphics card control panel. Wrong settings there can screw up colors.

@Aerik

Report your problem in more detail, then maybe the ffdshow people can fix it.

NEED HELP PLEASE GUYS

Have had K lite for several months now and absolutely love it...but the other day I was cleaning out crap of the hard disk and I must have deleted something that K lite relies on to run properly.

I have avi's saved that used to display perfectly on my monitor however now they appear grey and washed out...like there is a grey filter over the movie. It is driving me up the wall, I unistalled and reinstalled K lite, but the problem is still there?

Any ideas? Your help is most appreciated.

I believe something is wrong with this software.

If I enable the same tweaks with the ffdshow video decoder that I was using with version 3.5.4, it freezes up my computer as soon as I stop playing the video. I have to manually restart the computer. It's doing something bad.

This is the best codec pack i have ever seen. thank you so so so so much for providing this package for free

It is ashamed that there's no Super Chain Media Codec (scm)?

I hope it will be included in klite soon!!

I used k lite codec pack for ages but ever since i installed wmp 11 and whent to k lite v3.5.7 half my videos will not work

Excellent codec pack, Good Work, thanks a lot

Another solution would be to put the game on the ffdshow blacklist. See K-Lite FAQ.

Used it since years with XP, very stable and comfortable , but version 3.57 crashed with Silent Hunter 4 1.4. I hab all the latest Nvidia/XP-patches, but the main menu of the game stayed black. I almost got nuts. In the game-forum I found a tread, where they recommended to uninstall K-Lite Codec pack as a last measure (http://forums.ubi .com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/6921019045/m/2021017016?r=2021017016#2021017016).
It helped immediately. Dunno why, but in case someone has the same problem...

K-Lite Codec Pack 3.5.7 DOES NOT Work With Vista Ultimate x64.

Couldn't hear a .avi file and couldn't find the sound codec....d/l K-Lite Codec Pack and everything is fine. Thank you guys (and girls) for making it freeware.
