The following
quotations are from a person with vast multimedia experience.
"I'd suspect that if I put it to the test I'd find
that K-Lite, for example, had done more damage (as measured by crash
reports) than some notable percentage of actual outright malware."
"At one point 7 of the top 10
crashes in multimedia on Windows lead squarely to problems induced
by K-Lite."
"...the fact remains that they
(K-Lite) have been one of the most toxic projects ever released for
Windows in any form."
The above quotations encapsulate what prompted me to produce
my own codec packs.
K-Lite blatantly
installs MALWARE. Read complaints documented on K-lites forum,
Read here,
http://codecs./t2025-beware-unwanted-adware-included
and here,

and here,
http://codecs./t2389-k-lite-side-loading-web-companion-from-lavasoft
according to the K-Lite author, if malware got installed, it is your
own fault!
Things the Shark pack does that other packs cannot do . . .
1. Full color thumbnails including FLV's and 10bit
MKV's.
(also allows users to select at what point by percentage to grab the
thumbnail)
2. Enable the Preview Pane for ALL newly enabled
filetypes such as MKV and FLV.
3. Explorer properties are displayed for non native
filetypes such as MKV and FLV
4. Updated often - and has update notification
builtin
5. Allow use of the PowerDVD decoders for 32bit
LiveTV in Media Center.
6. Support playback of MKV files on Extenders and on the
Xbox One.
7. Support use of the LAV filters with the Play To function for MKV files.
8. Support playback of MOD audio files and M4A
files containing ALAC
9. Supports playlist creation for use in Media
Center
10. Allow users to Enable/Disable codecs installed
on their system
11. Functionality such as Win7DSFilterTweaker
builtin.
12. Support 'Add to Windows Media Player List'
using rightclick on all files such as MKV.
I have also released
x64 versions of the settings application so these codec adjustments are
completely independent of each other
and can co-exist together on x64 systems.
ADVANCED Codecs
The Settings Application is 100% UAC compliant.
Restricted access is enforced. (User Account
Control)
The Application allows each user to maintain individual codec settings while at
the same time seamlessly integrating any administrative commands directly
into the users account. New users accounts are detected upon opening the
Application and automatically inherit the Administrators settings.

Adding files to the Windows
Media Player Playlist
On the Help TAB of the Settings Application is a button to allow you
to choose Windows Media Player Filetype Associations. Once you have used
this button, you can Enqueue newly associated files to the Windows Media
Player Playlist as depicted below. If for some reason this doesn't work for
you, go back to the associations button, click No twice, consecutively, then
select Yes. No reboot is required.
This
will also work for audio files such as FLAC, APE or musepack.
When dealing with codecs, more
does not equal better.
Having the least amount on your system is the best
configuration.
This is exactly what these
codec releases will do for you.
You will no longer be restricted to using any specific player.
WMP and your Windows Media Center setup will play
all your files.
