This K-Lite Codec Pack comes with Codec tweak tools, that is usefull on older machines, when Microsoft didnt provided at all,
the most well-known 32-bit and both 64-bit Decoders on Windows, when this app lets you to enable them. Usefull also for DirectShow, LAV Video & Audio filters and more. Also you can disable the media formats what you dont use are you dont want, in Media Foundation menu.
Just does his work, if you done something wrong onto the system about codecs, and you needed a fix.

For new users: as for October 2020 I can say with certainty that this is THE more reliable codec pack for Windows enviroment. I use it from year 2004 and I never encountered any kind of problem. For a Windows software it's a small miracle!. But why a power user should install a codec pack instead of separate codecs and filters installations? Because K-Lite can really fix broken codecs, wrong filters priority, re-register filters and so on. Also, fast and accurate assistance from the developer (this is very, very important). 10/10 for me. First time I give as a score 10/10.

13.82 is the last XP compatible version. Works great in my system without issues.

Actually it is now 13.8.0 which is the last XP compatible version as it is tweaked to work fine with it. The standard pack should be enough to meet anyone's needs!

Sadly 13.7.5 is now the last version to support the great system xp. The update 13.7.9 won't install on it.

Correction: 13.7.5 contains the 1.7.13 media player which supports xp. The k lite update contains the 1.714 not supporting xp version, yet the update of k lite installed in my xp pro no problem! Whether it vworks we will see! Thanks

Great codec pack. I've a question though! If newest Media Player Home Classic does not support xp anymore then how come this codec pack still supports and works great in xp with this version of Mphc which if you use separately does not work at all in xp? Is k lite version a special hack? Just very curious!

Excellent software. Never mind what you've heard, K Lite is the best and simplest solution for encoding and playback of multiple file formats. It DOES NOT wreck your PC and is far superior and updated more often and quickly than other packs like the defunct CCCP or Shark. This has been the case for YEARS now. Anyone who says otherwise probably tried it a loooong time ago. The bundled media player handles anything and runs more smoothly than standalone players like VLC, KMP etc. without the bells and whistles, even on a fast PC.

These codec packs WRECK your system, won't people ever learn? If you must use one then use X Codec Pack, very safe and provides good functionality, or just use ffmegtryout. Better still lav filters which is immensely popular, but use Media Player Classic Home Cinema with everything built in subtitles, lav etc. Anyone with tecchie sense will tell you AVOID codec packs. Period!

I really think Videohelp should update their reviews and score. This software deserves more than the rating. All the reviews and ratings are really old and not really applicable anymore.

I have been using KLCP for a couple of years now, and I must say, they have come a long way. I agree that all the old reviews were correct in their time, the software had issues. You used to get somewhat frequent clashes with other software, or crashes or etc. But in the recent times, the software is REALLY stable. Since the past year, I have a hard time remembering the last time I had crashes or issues with the software. They are also probably the only codec pack to update very frequently. That being said, it could be good or bad depending on how you look at it, sometimes latest filters and such might give you problems. I have not personally experienced anything thing in the recent times though.

The installation phase at expert settings is a treat. It gives you so much control over all options (what filters you want to install, file association etc.). Once done, it play pretty much everything you throw at it. Never had any issue with any playbacks. I used to use ffdshow but with the introduction of LAV into KLCP, I switched because I read that LAV was better. The only issue I ever faced was that when playing Darksiders, the cutscenes would skip because KLCP (with LAV) clashes with the game and it ends up getting skipped. A number of people faced that problem, and the only solution seemed to uninstall KLCP temporarily. It could potentially repeat for other games, but again, I did not face anything personally.

The old versions used to come with the regular MPC but the newer ones come with MPC-HC. It is overall the same though, very minimalistic in terms of design but without sacrificing any functionality. It ensures that the application does not take too much RAM.

Now for the downsides, first off, WARNING: The application is a "bundleware". It comes with toolbars and homepage changer. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, keep clicking "Next" blindly. You have to "Decline" the two offers otherwise you will end up with toolbar and your homepage changed to Bing or whatever it was. This itself is a big negative for me, when applications come bundled with stuff like this. But at least it gives you an option to skip it.

Now the second one is not really major, but it would have been nice if the application came bundled with a set of encoders for Ripping/Converting multimedia files. Foobar comes with a really excellent Ripping and Converting software and VLC comes with it too. Not that I take off points for this statement but it would have been nice nevertheless. I am guessing it has to do with MPC-HC and not the pack itself.

Apart from this, I have no other issues. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a decent, minimalistic player which can play everything, provided if you skip the advertisements during installation.

Please install Full version instead of Mega version. Then install MPC-HC seperately!!

If your OS not working for this Mega Version....

I use Win7-64bit too and all went fine

Great codec pack. all the needful codecs are included.

Review by eagletdw on Nov 30, 2013 Version: 10.5 OS: WinXP Ease of use: 8/10 Functionality: 9/10 Value for money: 9/10 Overall: 9/10




First, I have to say this is the BEST code pack ever and it should be rated higher! It's free and also works better than the ones that charged. The K-Lite Codec Pack play just about every codec files. I mostly use it to watch divx coded files. After installing it, I also have no problem using Windows Media Player 9 to watch encoded divx file unlike someone previously mentioned (maybe he should try new vers and make sure his Window Media Player 9 is updated?). I highly recommend however using the cool and slick ^^ BSPlayer instead for those of you who dislike the Media Player Classic interface or prefer a much cleaner looking player then Windows Media Player 9. BSPlayer can be found in the the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack vers 1.25 which can be downloaded from the main website link.

The K-Lite Mega Codec Pack vers 1.25 is essentially a K-Lite Codec Pack 2.41 Full version with additional features such as QuickTime Alternative 1.42, Real Alternative 1.32, BSplayer 1.22.817 and FFDShow build 2005-02-16. By the way, all these features can be installed optionally.

For me, the installation process went through smoothly. Uninstalled seems to work just as well for the full program or features otherwise such as such as QuickTime Althernative and Real Alternative. I have to say though, these features are really worth keeping. Once you installed you will no longer need QuickTime Player or the overly 'bloated' Real Player.

This is a awesome tool! 10 all the way! ^^
