Anybody who has tried to play HD movies on their computer before knows that cccp is a junk codec pack, and k-lite is superior in all possible ways. It's really a very lightweight pack that gives you everything you need to play any video while making sure that it's the bare minimum needed. Install media player classic and k-lite codec pack and you will be able to play any type of file, and play it well. I personally have VLC, MPlayer, and Media Player Classic installed on my machine. I like MPlayer for everyday use because it's fast and has more intuitive shortcuts and interface, but when I need to play an HD movie I always use Media Player Classic instead for a smoother and more reliable viewing experience (along with k-lite codec pack).

I should have been more specific that I install the Klite standard. I have never had a problem. I would love to hear from any one that does!

K-Lite is much like a big package with everything you might want. so if you know what you are doing i would recommend K-Lite but if you are not just use some players that have built-in codecs like VLC Player or KM Player. better yet if you want a simple package that wont make any conflicts in ur system try CCCP because it comes with minimal codecs needed to play any file and some nice tweaks to make sure everyone wont have any problems. the problem with K-Lite is that many users don’t know what to install so they install everything without knowing what to change in their settings, the result is conflicts among codecs or in another case installing it without uninstalling any other codecs before K-Lite.

Any of the codec packs can cause problems in some situations. For myself, I only install the codecs I need (identified by Gspot of course) and then install the particular codec. Keeps the system cleaner as well. For what it is worth – I have also heard that you should *not* install K-Lite codec pack. Any of the codec packs can cause problems in some situations.
