K-Lite Codec Pack 7.1.0 Build 2011-03-29

K-Lite codec packs are fine, but I must say I don't understand how last version "K-Lite Codec Pack Update 5.5.6 Build 20091221" may be followed by this "K-Lite Codec Pack Full 5.5.8 Beta". Too much speed leads to inconsistency, if not in the content a least in the form. Take your time, otherwise we"ll be seeing pre-pre-pre alphas within a few years.

"Serious Disaster" Nothing worth. After I uninstalled K-Lite Codec Pack Full, because sound and speed controls dropped off during a DVD palying, I got a messages from my Power2Go 6 that my burning drive is missing. The uninstall of K-Lite Codec Pack Full caused the missing of my two drives (DVD-Rewriter and DVD-Player). I had to format my hard disc drive and install all programs again. Better rating would be 5 negative stars.

This falls into the category of if it ain't broke don't fix it. If you're satisfied with your current sound and video drivers, you don't need it.

"all in one place" collection of common codecs, enables you to play almost everything, dont see any necessity

"This falls into the category of if it ain't broke don't fix it. If you're satisfied with your current sound and video drivers, you don't need it." What if you don't know if it is broken or fixed? Wouldn't running the latest and greatest be prudent until you run into something otherwise? Otherwise, you could be missing out on a feature or technology that otherwise would be beneficial. Also this has a negligible amount to do with sound or video drivers.

"It works well" installs well, runs well, no problems default media player is annoying, but you can deselect it in one of the install menus, so not really a con when i use windows, it is nice to have some free codecs.

My computer did not have the codecs to play dvd's on windows media player, sent me to sites that wanted to charge $15 just so I could play a dvd on my computer. Downloaded this codec pack, and movies played on WMP. Some pausing or skipping occasionally during movie playback, but hey, it's free. Must have if you don't want to pay out the cash for the big monopolies

Report your problem on the CodecGuide forum so that it can be properly diagnosed and fixed.

@ Wired4Fun - newer version of codec pack = newest versions of components = less bugged I dont know why you dont agree with systematic updating... It will be the same for ppl working still on buggy Fx 2.0, 3.0 or 3.5 when 3.6 version is available for example ;)

@mjm01010101: "What if you don't know if it is broken or fixed? Wouldn't running the latest and greatest be prudent until you run into something otherwise? Otherwise, you could be missing out on a feature or technology that otherwise would be beneficial." Ummmm...... I guess when the sound isn't working..... that would be a good place to start when determining if it is broken. What special feature do you think I may gain in from a system that already works as expected? I think I may know.... I installed this , and my audio was no longer synchronized properly on flv files. I reverted back to my old 'un-broken' version, and now all is well. ..... but come to think of it, maybe you're right - that could have been one of those new features (or technologies, not sure) that you were referring to - "KLite Codec Pack..... now with the Doppler Effect!" I think I will choose to agree with robmanic, "if it aint broke, don't fix it!"

Added since K-Lite Codec Pack version 5.99 Beta, the VP8 decoder (WebM format) works just fine. Media Player Classic recognized and ran a .webm file perfectly.
