    Does not work on Windows 2000. I downloaded this expecting it to work on windows 2000 as it states in the download section. It gets 95% through installation and then gives and error stating that I need XP. Waste of time and now I probably have spyware on my computer. Pros: none Cons: does not work on 2000 as stated.

    Novice. i'm a novice. i did get a headache from installing K-Lite Codec Pack... 99% of it i did not understand ;)... i tried reading all of it but failed... i just chose default and check every box that is permitted and viola its finished. and now i can use my windows media player...the video and audio are clear but sometimes the picture would slow or stop and after couple of secs will continue but the audio is okay...

    Wow, This really works. for years I've wanted to stop the "needs codecs" messages within wmp. I haven't used wmp in years. Now working perfectly. I'd still love windows integration so we could have preview pics in the explorer. very surprising. The options are a bit over the top, but useful if you're really into video. Pros: It plays mkv in windows media player. period Cons: too many options and It asks you to change your home page to their own. tisk tisk.
