Notes from Clif

George has found us one of those cure-all programs for videos. I can remember plenty of times being frustrated trying to play movies or video-cds. I admit, I've known about this package for a year or so, but I've never gotten around to mentioning it. I think George does a far better job of explaining it than I could. Read on and I'm sure you'll agree.

Review from George

After I had gotten my new computer that has Windows XP installed, I decided to download some video from the internet. I found that some of the files didn’t play back properly. The audio portion of the files would play but there was no video. I noticed that the file type that had this problem most often was the *.avi file type. After I had done some searches on the internet and going through a bit of a learning curve, I determined that I didn’t have the codec installed that I needed to play the video. read more

The K-Lite Codec Pack has a couple of major advantages compared to other codec packs:

  • It it always very up-to-date with the latest versions of the codecs.
  • It is very user-friendly and the installation is fully customizable, meaning that you can install only those components that you really want.
  • It's easy to make an unattended installation.
  • It has been very well tested, so that the package doesn't contain any conflicting codecs. It tries to avoid potential problems with existing codecs and even fixes some problems.
  • It is a very complete package, containing everything you need to play your movies.
  • There are different packages. From small to extra-large.
