Download K-Lite Codec Pack 7.1.8
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, the other by an ffdshow filter. 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. Standard 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. Version 7.1.8 of K-Lite Codec Pack has been released and it will be as update offered for version 7.1.0. The changelog for this looks like this:
Changes in version 7.1.8:
- Updated Media Player Classic Home Cinema to version 1.5.2.3086
