Just to add something:
If you ladies and gentlemen are using Windows 7, WMP12 already can play h264/VC-1 with native DXVA support, all you need is just install the Halli Media Splitter.
Of course other lesser known/ancient video codec will need the third party video player, just use MPC-HC, thats all...

hi,

i got problems playing some of the .mkv files, the video just stop sometimes and the other times just doing slow motion.... if i got lucky it plays just fine but only a few minutes.

the good news is, the audio working great.

my OS is win7 32bit ultimate.

what seems to be the problem? tq

Video file specs and your PC specs?
Seems like your PC doesn't have enough horsepower OR the decoder is only single threaded

so far i found MPC Star is the only player that instantly play rmvb, rm, ram (real player) files without any additional codecs

http://www.mpcstar.com

but i felt its eating up half of the memory during playback

after reformat my laptop lately i think of trying GOM, since its the top downloads on CNET after Real & DivX
to my disappointment... have to install Real Alternative...

You quoting my post from 2008?
Yeah mpc star download size is 20mb something
mpc-hc + ffdshow definitely much smaller than that lol.
If you want something use less memory, try MPlayer http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/news.html
but this player usually compiled without user interface, and it's not for casual computer user.

real alternative is something ancient already, since those codecs already reverse engineered and were added to the ffmpeg core(which many player/codec pack are using it).

lol... didnt notice... but GOM still guided me to Real Alternative :mad: why is it the top 3 downloads in CNET!!!

Forget those alternative lah,
read this, you only need ffdshow + mpc-hc to play real video, no need to install hundreds codec packs and player

Thanks for sharing!

rmvb with cook audio got bug on mpc-hc using madVR + lav filter..

This is probably the reason why cook and some other real codecs were deactivated by default
You should tell the developer on doom9 or either pm them,
dont post on doom9 while provide them the illegally downloaded vide as sample, your will be warned or banned

so i can't run some rmvb files with LAV splitter + LAV audio + LAV video + File Async + madVR so all i need to do:

1) untick rv34, tick rv12
2) untick cook & realaudio

i will able to play those rmvb but w/o LAV stuff on it.. if i wanna play other type of rmvb with LAV stuff u need to do >>> (shown on both pic)

i will provide the DIY mpc-hc this evening (hope u guys can give me some comment on it) thanks!

*i surely get ban cos u knw those rmvb files*

Don't know if I'm posting in the right place, if not please direct me.

Here the scenario.
Browser - Firefox v15.0 with updated Flash Player v11.4

The problem is i can't play you tube video now. Getting the annoyed message "An error occurred. Please try again later". I've tried downgrade the flash player to v10, using IE, clear browser cookies, nothing seem to resolve this problem. Any other suggestion. Thanks.

unable to play m4a file on kmplayer.
please give me link to download the codec.

How about this codec.
Windows Essential

i think K-Lite is the best

jjst bought a new laptop last few weeks but having some problem. When playing video it tend to freeze sometime. This happens occationally and when free I have to close the application if not it will cause whole laptop hang. I am using GOM player wirh codec AC3 filter.

i have already update the GPU driver and integrated driver

but still hving this problem.

is it overheating problem?
or software problem

I am not using any anti virus
my laptop is msi ge 60

Can you try open your video with the problem with mediainfo?
Aslo,try using other like media player classic home cinema.

Hi there everyone, I've been using k-lite codec pack since many years ago.
Recently noticed the sound from my media player classic has been weird, having slightly scrathy sound and static-y sound.
Playing videos on youtube, music on my browser or using other media players has had no such problems, just wondering if anyone has the same issue?
