K-Lite Mega Codec Pack 18.3.0 reviews

vidoe becomes pixelated when playing ".mov" and ".rm" files in fullscreen. also my desktop theme switches from windows aero to basic. o.O
im on vista ultimate x86. [all latest updates n latest drivers installed]
cant play ".amr" audio files.

bah... when you started taking things out i just returned to the old 3.4.0 version.

you should instead of releasing another version, simply create an update of older versions if posible, in order to keep all the features (you know.. core avc, QT)

Video files with a ".avi" extension do not generate a thumbnail. :( im on vista ultimate x86. (all drivers of al parts are updated to their respective versions)

The codec that plays "MP4" I beleive needs to be fixed. I've a few files that are MP4 where the aspect ratio is displaying in WMP11 as almost 1x1(too narrow), where it should be at least 3x4 if not wider? An associate send me a screen shot of the exact same video I have playing in his QT and the aspect ration is perfect!
Please advise.

Thank you for your GREAT work!

excellent, the best codec pack ive ever used

BRILLIANT!!!this really helped me and solved all my problems!!!

cmuda.sys belongs to the CMedia AC97 Audio Device driver.

I suggest you update that driver.

I had a problem when playing .AVI movie using MPC which included in this k-lite mega codec pack, when i start to play, then there will be BSOD with cmuda.sys error! Then i only can play movie using VLC player! What the problem actually i don't know!

All the videos I encoded on linux will finally play on windows. Thanks for this great codec pack.

Generally I love this thingie compared to WMP or anything else but since switching to ver 3.x onwards, most of the time I open some video files(.avi & .mpg), the Classic player will freeze and in Windows Taskmanager it takes up all the processing power. I've tried on a few computers with the same result... Did I miss anything? I've basically all the codecs installed.

Can someone give some pointers? :)

DVD's that use two different audio streams placed together in a single stereo stereo are extremely rare I would think. Normal DVD's use separate audio tracks for different languages.

But your problem should be fixable:
1) During installation select ffdshow (instead of AC3Filter) as decoder for AC3/DTS/LPCM.
2) In ffdshow audio decoder options, go to the Volume page and enable it. On that page you can find a M (mute) button for each input audio channel. Just mute the channel that contains the language that you don't want.

Alternatively, you can configure Ac3Filter/ffdshow to output Stereo (2.0) sound and use the Windows Wave settings to set the volume balance all the way to the left/right channel. I think this was your original intention. The reason why that probably didn't work is because the decoders were configured for 5.1 output. That means that stereo input will be upmixed to 5.1 output.

I've been using the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack 3.75 for a few days on a few computers for few days.
There might be some bugs in it's sound mixer for vob (dvd) files with audio with different languages on left and right channels when playind with WMP and MPC. The sound from left and right mixes together, even by manually changing the the sound (wave) properties in windows. Only managed to filter it properly with PowerDVD

The versions b4 this no problem at all.

Note: This happen on all 3 computers that I've updated with this version.

@batman:
CoreAVC has been integrated in QuickTime Alternative.
It seems klite mega does no longer include QTA

Why remove CoreAVC? It's very good.

First it was QuickTime, now this? This "mega" package seems to be leaking good stuff.
