Hi K-Lite codec pack VS VobSub

[GangstaRap]

I have the K-Lite codec pack installed in my computer.
do i need to install VobSub as well?

THANX GUYS!

No, you probably need to format your hard drive and reinstall Windows.

jagabo, what? why?

K-Lite is known to lead to all kinds of codec and other video related problems. Especially if you install/uninstall it a few times. Usually the only way of fixing the system is a fresh install of Windows.

You're far better off installing the specific codecs you need. If you really want a "pack" try ffdshow. It's much cleaner. It includes subtitle filters too.

Bilinear, Busman747, okay....
that explains Bilinear comment...
but!
i'm using K-Lite codec pack over 2 years now and i'v never had
any codecs problems!
i also never suffered from lack of them!
i dont know why it caused Busman747 problems with openin' AVI
files...
i know a lot of people using the K-Lite - and i'v never heard
any complaints...
maybe the results differ depending on which hardware or system
configuration the codecs performed on...
possibly?
