Probably the most intelligent post regarding k-lite I have seen in some time.

You should have seen the original. He was begging for help in completely uninstalling K-Lite so he could install the upgrade. Guess he figured it out. I thought about posting the usual warnings against K-Lite, but passed.

I thought it meant that using k-lite could turn you into a gggg-gibbering idiot

Welll, i am an "gggg-gibbering idiot.." for about 6-7 years, and i do a lot of video capturing, converting, editing... etc all the time, and I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM while being an idiot.
So i realy dont understand why all of you are against k-lite!?!

Simple. Do a forum search for 'Klite problems'. That brings up 41 pages for that query.

so whats the alternative to klite?

I know about those "41 pages", it's just that the "..gggg-gibbering idiot..." made me laugh, and i wanted to say that i never had problems with it.
Maybe 90% of those "41 pages" are user-error's, or maybe i'm just lucky

Occasionally someone will live to 100 years old or more and will have smoked all of their adult life. Based on that, however, no-one in their right mind would recommend you take up smoking. Some people get lucky, but most do not.

@rocketman122 - the alternative to k-lite depends on what you need. In most cases, all you need for playback is a good player like The KM Player, which comes with all the most common - and many uncommon - codecs built in. If you are converting then you should use Mediainfo to determine which codec you need, and install that codec. Or use FFDShow.

Haali splitter, ffdshow, and MPCHC will cover 99 percent of files for playback.
