For me it's perfect. I have used k-lite codec pack since 2009 and already recommended to my friends many times. The problem is some file types can't be displayed with an icon. Just like the .MKV (Matroska) format, It uses the generic picture of WMP.

Downloaded latest K-Lite Codec Pack Full so that Windows Media Player would play MP4's etc. Worked great. However now all my jpg picture files wont show thumbnails in any of the folders. All that shows is a generic picture thumbnail. I have tried various things to fix it but it looks like I'm going to have to uninstall K-Lite to try and sort it out.

Actually, I can play WMV files with Windows Media Player, Jet-Audio 7.1.9.4030 Plus VX, Real Player 11.0.5 but not Media Player Classic. Before, I used K-Lite 4.1.7 Full and everything is OK! Until I set up K-Lite 4.7.0 Full and I have such problems. I don't think "You need codecs from Microsoft to play WMV files. Those are normally bundled with Windows. Install "Windows Media Format Runtimes" and you should be able to play those files" is a solution! Thanks for reply!

You can find a solution for that in the K-Lite FAQ.

Everything works fine, except for one thing. The .mov video files I added to Windows Movie Maker play, but there is no sound... the audio is missing. Can somebody tell me why this is?

Along with MPC Home Cinema this is the best media bundle available. We have been enjoying music & movies without need of any other packs. Best performance. Thanks

@Dlucks

That is probably a bug in the DivX browser plugin.
If you want to play the files with Media Player Classic, then you need to download them instead of streaming.

@Tom Bird
Go to the codecguide forum. They should be able to help you there.

decent pack, except that when divx streams a vid from the net the audio seems to be fast forwarded at 200k percent, and I dont know how to associate firefox with mediaplayer, any suggestions?

K-Lite Codec Pack 5.4.4 Full

I have been using K-lite for years now, almost no version had a problem. I installed the latest one and now mp4 files play as audio but the video is not recognized.

What is wrong? Should i just wait for the next version?

I don't know but opening movie files are too slow with this latest version 5.3.0. It was OK when 5.2.0 was installed.

The team is very helpful because they put back the DirectVobSub/VSFilter v2.33 to the 5.3.0 pack.

The Vsfilter v2.39 crashes with the Subtitleworkshop v2 / V4. Many people don't know the reason of the crash is the Vsfilter 2.39. I try newer vsfilters 2.34---2.39, but everyone freeze the Subtitleworkshop...

So... THANKS FOR THIS, please let it be in the newer versions!

@shaun

Report your problem on the Codec Guide support forum and they will get fixed.

It is very likely your problems are caused by bad drivers. That is not something the pack is responsible for.

The K-Lite FAQ also contains very useful help. I suggest you read that as well before blaming the pack.

@Theo Double

Windows should already by default be able to generate thumbnails for MPEG files. That is why there is no option for it in the pack.
