Download K-Lite Codec Pack 10.7.5

Version 10.7.5 of K-Lite Codec Pack has been released. Just as drivers are necessary for hardware to work properly, audio and video files need something to play properly. One swears by a media player that solves it internally, such as VLC Media Player or Light Alloy, the other by a separate filter package such as LAV. It is also possible to install separate codecs, such as the K-Lite Codec Pack. This is available in the flavors basic, standard, Full and mega. The first contains only what is necessary to play files. The Standard edition also includes Media Player Classic – Home Cinema and handles DVDs better. Finally, Full and Mega contain even more codecs and make it possible, for example, to encode files yourself. The following changes have been made in this release:

Changelog 10.7.1 to 10.7.5

• Updated MPC-HC to version 1.7.6.253
• Updated LAV Filters to version 0.62-46-g4bbcf5c
• Updated Codec Tweak Tool to version 5.9.1
• Updated Icaros to version 2.2.7 b2
• Added support for hardware accelerated decoding of HEVC/H.265 video. Because all currently available hardware does not yet contain a fixed-function decoder for HEVC, the current implementation utilizes the general shader and video processing units of the GPU. As a result the performance is lower and power consumption higher than you might expect. Future hardware will contain a fixed-function decoder and provide better acceleration. At this moment the decoder only works with high-end Intel (HD 4600/5×00/6×00) and NVIDIA (GTX 680/780/870/880/Titan) GPUs. Latest graphics driver is also required.
