#Windows media player 12 codec pack reviews software

Foobar comes with a really excellent Ripping and Converting software and VLC comes with it too. Now the second one is not really major, but it would have been nice if the application came bundled with a set of encoders for Ripping/Converting multimedia files. But at least it gives you an option to skip it. This itself is a big negative for me, when applications come bundled with stuff like this. You have to 'Decline' the two offers otherwise you will end up with toolbar and your homepage changed to Bing or whatever it was. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, keep clicking 'Next' blindly. It comes with toolbars and homepage changer. Now for the downsides, first off, WARNING: The application is a 'bundleware'. It ensures that the application does not take too much RAM. It is overall the same though, very minimalistic in terms of design but without sacrificing any functionality. The old versions used to come with the regular MPC but the newer ones come with MPC-HC. It could potentially repeat for other games, but again, I did not face anything personally. A number of people faced that problem, and the only solution seemed to uninstall KLCP temporarily. The only issue I ever faced was that when playing Darksiders, the cutscenes would skip because KLCP (with LAV) clashes with the game and it ends up getting skipped. I used to use ffdshow but with the introduction of LAV into KLCP, I switched because I read that LAV was better.

Once done, it play pretty much everything you throw at it. It gives you so much control over all options (what filters you want to install, file association etc.). The installation phase at expert settings is a treat. I have not personally experienced anything thing in the recent times though. That being said, it could be good or bad depending on how you look at it, sometimes latest filters and such might give you problems.

#Windows media player 12 codec pack reviews update

They are also probably the only codec pack to update very frequently. Since the past year, I have a hard time remembering the last time I had crashes or issues with the software. But in the recent times, the software is REALLY stable. You used to get somewhat frequent clashes with other software, or crashes or etc. I agree that all the old reviews were correct in their time, the software had issues. I have been using KLCP for a couple of years now, and I must say, they have come a long way. All the reviews and ratings are really old and not really applicable anymore. This software deserves more than the rating. I really think Videohelp should update their reviews and score.
