Yes, it works great on Windows 7 x64.

is it works on win7 x64?

K-Lite Mega Codec Pack 4.1.4

All versions since 3.95 have worked fine for me; in this version a problem with Media Player Classic - takes too long to start or doesn't start at all (with FLV or AVI files)

You don't need the DivX codec. Thumbnails work fine with ffdshow, which is what the codec pack uses by default.

I just found out that my problem was not caused by xvid codec in the package. It turn out to be DivX codec (maybe), when windows explorer try to preview avi files that contain DivX video in it. There is a 3 way to avoid the explorer.exe error that I found on the net.

1.regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll - avi file no longer have a thumbnails.
2.HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\SystemFileAssociations\\.avi\\shellex\\PropertyHandler - Delete the "Default" value. (Backup first) - avi file have a thumbnail but disable summary in the properties. (You can use mediainfo)
3.Download and install DivX Free 5.2.1 - avi file have thumbnails and summary like normal.

Honestly, I don't like all that solution. I like my avi file to have a thumbnail preview and summary. But I don't like to have to download another codec package that have the same codec file just to solve one problem.

I hope in the next release K-lite Mega have the solution like in the DivX Free 5.2.1. K-lite Mega is my one and only choice. I don't want to use other.

@Naps

Your problem can be solved by removing the Xvid codec that is (improperly) installed on your computer.

Once upon a time, I was using 5.2.0 and always getting explorer.exe error when opening folder that contains video files. even though I'm not using Thumbnails view setting. Then I tried uninstalling 5.2.0 and I get "xvidcore.dll not found" error when try to open video folders or try to generating thumbnails for the video files, of course no thumbnails generated. Last thing I did was installing 5.4.4, and the same explorer.exe error occur. My problems never solved. THE END.

@sunil

There are three solutions:
1) Use the older version of MPC (1.2.1008) that is included in the pack.
2) Select the standard EVR renderer in MPC options
3) Disable DXVA

@Simon Lin

That error was fixed in 5.4.4

the k-lite mega codec pack 5.4.0 is good, however there is a problem with media player classic...
mpc takes much time to start than its previous version......

don't know what's the reason behind......

can u guys solve this problem in the newer version.....

for ur information, my pc details:
intel 945g chipset motherboard
1gb ram

lastly kaspersky internet security 2010 installed....(mpc is under trusted application's list)
no other program is running in background...

5.4.0 at xp sp3 can't install, alway show runtime error (at326:280)
Is there anyone can fix this program?

Amazed on how many problems I am see by others.
8 comps running K-Lite Mega and no issues. Everything from XP to Vista 64
What I am seeing with many of the problems listed is most likely the same issues.
1. Never overwrite old version.! Uninstall
2. Never have more then one Codec package.

Here really is the best way. Uninstall all other codec packages. Run a registry cleaner if you had other version then K-Lite.
Reboot and install.

Hey the latest version of KMC 5.1.0 installation gives me problems.

I have tried with few computers included my friends' (different windows included XPSP2, XPSP3, and Vista).. the installation progress is straight forward.. seems it is going to complete installation but at the end starting from vfwfilter.dll(or vswfilter.dll either one near the end), all the every single files following up are unable to install and keep pop up message boxes ask me to "retry/ignore/abort"...

Of course I click "retry" but still fail and pop up again.. As I said, if I "ignore", the files following also give me same problem.. So the only way I can do is click "abort" and let it roll back changes to my previous version 5.0.5...

I wonder why this will happen please resolve it.. Or any way to fix it by myself?

Thanks..

I love you too! Great job! Why did u do these for us guys?!

i love you
