I agree with Klnu2000's old comment dated back to 2110.. K-Light Mega Codec Pack is the best solution. Everything else is junk.

i like the idea of upgrading this codec without uninstall old version, just download and run.

@cyberber I have tried all the codecs, and for me, at least, Win7codecs is the best, and my second choice is K-Lite Mega Codec Pack.

goes to show how much you know about codecs. they change all the time, so 007 is doing you a favor by keeping up with the changes, yes some times buggy, but ALL soft is buggy at times, this IS THE best codec pack around for 7, period.
cyberber
Angelic Human7 and are so qualified and expert to say ” Win7codecs is the best codec pack for Windows 7!” its all bs any computer software that has upto 3 or 4 updates per week or maybe more either there is something wrong with the publisher or his tests are clearly faulty,

there's a bug in "FFDshow" filter in shark codec since v3.1.6 till v3.2.0, the bug give an unpleasant noise with unstable picture while playing any video with Media Player Classic - HomeCinema!! so everytime roll back to v3.1.5 "bugs free"

I don't know where these claims are coming from that this codec pack doesn't support FLVs and/or is bad, because I've been using it for ages and have never EVER had a problem playing any file type.
CCCP has given me (different) problems on 2 computers when dealing with MKVs.
K-Lite slowly breaks down over time and adds too much unnecessary stuff (more is not always better).

Klnu2000,
I agree. The best Codec is K-Lite Mega Codec Pack. I use it years and i never had problems. Not even now with 64bit windows. SO, why to change it to a new-one with probably many bugs also? K-Lite exist MANY years. They know they're job, well.

"shark007" does have a good codecs & team, but like many, they don't want to updater... I think that reason is that they get site views and download count on some pages, i remember that they had a nice discussion about this issue ... but just like what some Firefox addson makers do... after update, you get their homepage... but free is always free.... or mostly ;)

I USE the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack in Windows 7 64bit and Win XP 32bit for years and i never had problems.
