When I stop watching the full screen video (by pressing the ESC key, or double clicking the video), again MPC 6.4 goes back to my standard 1024x768 resolution as it should PERFECTLY. I boot up my computer to 1024x768x32bits for surfing the web and everything else and then ONLY have MPC 6.4 change resolution to 1280x1024x32bits when I double-click a video and make it go full screen. I use "full screen mode" (by pressing Alt-Enter, or double clicking the video) and also enable the option "Stretch to fullscreen" and MPC 6.4 (with Win XP) works PERFECTLY with these options and MPC-HD 1.2 and 1.5 do not. I, and millions of people like me, are still using Windows XP Professional and have no intention of "upgrading" to Windows 7 in the near future. Everything is great EXCEPT it now comes up with a pop-up saying that version 6.4 of Media Player Classic is going to be removed in the future. I was using version 7.1 with no problems but I decided to give this one a try. I'll still leave my rating at 5 stars because of all the hard work you guys do!! Ouch!!Īgain, I'm going to uninstall version 7.7 and go back to version 7.1 because that still works perfectly with Win XP. Also, BIG PROBLEM, when I go full screen with the video the numeric keypad (arrow keys) now no longer work at all to manually stretch the video full screen. Almost all my videos are now severely letter boxed. When I watch a video full screen now, by double clicking the video or pressing Alt-Enter, MOST of my videos are now no longer stretched to the edges of my screen. Also, Right-click the video, go to "Video frame" and click "Stretch to frame" to set that option. In MPC 6.4, in "Options", "Playback", "Change fullscreen resolution" I have set to 1280x1024x32bits. My standard desktop resolution is 1024x768x32 bits. Here's what KLMCP 7.7 is now doing wrong using MPC 6.4 (KLMCP version 7.1 works perfectly by the way). Again, I'm using Windows XP Professional. Looks like I'm going to have to go back to version 7.1 of K-lite mega codec pack. ![]() My first review is (below) but I'm going to have to change it now after a little more testing. 4.5/5 (half a point off) for the toolbar, even though it's optional and easily deselected. For some reason it wouldn't work under XP 圆4, but does under Windows 7 圆4 (the 64-bit edition doesn't do that, but the 32-bit Mega pack does). But still a great bundle (for now) despite the new slides towards crippleware.ĮDIT: Am updating my review to reflect that K-Lite Mega DOES in fact allow you to set file associations for WMP. It always dismays me to see great apps go the ad-supported direction. Otherwise 4/5 - 3.5/5, actually, for bundling the (optional) toolbar with the installer. (My thinking is it's M$ and the DMCA goons out to "protect" its proprietary media player from playing FOSS codecs and copy-protected DVDs, and appease the 1% Big Media types who don't like the idea of XviD rips and ubiquitous mp3s. If anyone can figure out how to have K-Lite set file associations for WMP, or can offer some info as to why the change (or if this is in fact a program thing and not just my own PC) then please do comment. A minor annoyance, but enough for me to knock the newer versions off a point. Maybe it's just my setup, but I find that K-Lite doesn't allow to set file associations for WMP anymore, just MPC. LOTS of people don't know.Previous versions (for me at least) would've been 5/5. It's a question of convenience.)ĭon't complain if you already know all of the above. People who want to do their own encoding are best-served by installing the specific encoder(s) they need rather than using the "full" or "mega" packs. The K-Lite team has the BEST record of clean, conflict-free codec packs. Simply roll back to your old version and wait for the next K-Lite update. ![]() ![]() (Don't flatter yourself.) VERY rarely, unless you insist on mega-pack overkill, an update will cause a problem. Very, very few people have any true reason to use the "Full" or "Mega" packs. K-Lite Standard satisfies nearly all the rest. SOME ADVICE: Select the smallest package that meets your needs, to minimize potential conflicts with other components in your system. I tried several different codec packs and settled with K-Lite, which I've happily used for several years.
