Notethe Basic version does NOT include a player
You need to use it together with an already installed DirectShow player such as Windows Media Player. For playback issues with WMP please read our F.A.Q. for solutions.
This is the recommended variant for the average user. Use this if you don't know what you need. It already contains everything that you need for playback. The extra components that are included in the larger versions provide no benefit for the majority of users.
Important note:
The K-Lite Codec Pack does not expand the import abilities of professional video editors such as Adobe Premiere or Vegas Movie Studio. Those applications often only support importing a small set of file formats, and do not support using the type of codecs that are included in the codec pack (DirectShow/VFW). Modern editors often only use their own internal codecs or only support external codecs of the Media Foundation type.

Can you please have the audio for mp4 files that are written to the memory card be more universally supported by media players? With the current audio codec used one must use ONE specific player (VLC Player) when there are tons of perfectly good codecs and players already in widespread use is a pain.
If you view a video created by a Wyze camera on a computer, you may not hear audio depending on the media player you are using. Windows' default media player does not have the proper audio codex, b...
So what you are asking is for the A-Law format to be changed. I think that is within the realm of something Wyze might be interested in, as there are so many audio problems at the moment that they may want to change that audio format as part of the cleanup process.
We can play recorded events on the device, but not if downloaded or shared with others. The issue is the codec used by Wyze is not natively supported on Andriod, iOS, Mac, PC or Chrome systems/devices. Requiring a 3rd party product, such as VLC, is not an acceptable solution. I tried using Camtasia and heard only a small burst of static then nothing. This needs fixing asap.
Downloaded directly from app, When played on my phone, no audio. Copied to my computer the d/l file, with no audio until I tried VLC. I also tried sharing from the Wyze app to the family who were not able to hear it, either.
There is no recording on the memory card - seems the advanced, local Storage, setting for Record Events Only did not record to the card. I have changed to Continuous recording and will check it later.
When I used the app to download, it downloaded. After trying to (unsuccessfully) hear the audio using the 'droid app, I copied to my computer and had the same issue with media player. When I shared it from the Event itself, same result.
Is there a way to reset the codec used in the Wyze app?
Just to verify, I just right now shared a recorded 12 second event to email back to myself. I downloaded and opened in VLC - codec is PCM ALAW. By your description, the system is not recording properly. The share and transmission via email should not have modified the codec, right?
OMG, apologies. I always watch my clips using the app or VLC, and I just noticed all the clips I have been saying I downloaded from my camera actually went thru iMovie first. So iMovie has been translating them to AAC!
K-Lite Codec Pack (Full) is one of the most complete and up-to-date codec packages for both video and audio. Thanks to this package, you can play practically any movie or audio file you have stored locally on your computer. No matter your preferred player, with these codecs, you can access any video or audio file you want.
The installation of this package includes several video players, among them the well-known Media Player Classic and BSplayer, two of the most popular and well-established players. K-Lite Codec Pack (Full) is the easiest way to get the decoders needed to view any movie, video clip, or video fragment you've recorded and exported to your PC.
The main difference between this FULL version of K-Lite Codec Pack (Full) and the STANDARD version is that this one includes the ability to play two formats not included with STANDARD. These two formats are OptimFrog and Tracker, both of which are uncommon. With the FULL version, you'll have no problem listening to any file with the following extensions: .it, .mo3, .mtm, .s3m, .umx, .xm, .ofr, and .ofs.
As usual with K-Lite codec packs, K-Lite Codec Pack (Full) also includes a number of configuration tools and filters to provide better image quality and performance. In short, if you ever have problems playing a file, don't hesitate to install this application and put an end to these errors and incompatibility problems.
Yes, K-Lite Codec Pack (Full) is fully compatible with Windows 11. This program works perfectly with the following versions of Windows: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and Windows 11.
Each version of K-Lite Codec Pack has its advantages and disadvantages, but none of them is better or worse than the others. K-Lite Codec Pack (Full), for example, has almost the same features as the Mega version, except for a couple of supported formats.
This is the best powerful program for every version of Windows I ever had; It's magically reads/supports any video and audio format, so we never see problems by using it! Thanks to K-Lite (Mega) and U...See more

I've already tried the msmpeg4v2 codec but the quality is horrible (compared to the original video you see large "blocks") so I'm looking for other codecs which work out of the box and have at least "ok" quality.
There are hundreds of audio and video codecs in use today. Some have been created by Microsoft, but the vast majority of codecs have been created by other companies, organizations, or individuals. By default, the Windows operating system and the Player include a number of the most popular codecs, such as Windows Media Audio, Windows Media Video, and MP3.
I had a similar issue with an aac/h264 .mp4 file which originally played fine in Windows Media Player (Windows 7). After I edited in VirtualDub and saved in .avi format, and then converted back to aac/h264 .mp4 using ffmpeg defaults, it would no longer play in Windows Media Player.
Using MediaInfo to compare the original and final files, I noticed a different encoding profile had been used, and different chroma subsampling settings (4:2:0, final 4:4:4). By re-encoding it with ffmpeg using the following option WMP was able to play the file correctly:
Hope someone can advise.
I have Eufy homebase 2 and 2 Eufy Cam 2 Pro.
System runs ok but videos download onto Android phone although claiming to be MP4 wont play video, only sound. When transferred to a laptop will also not play. Get a message about an issue with the codec.
If you look at the Video quality setting for the camera it says that 1080p will work with legacy hardware and software, but 2K recording may require a newer codec. What version of android are you using?
Thanks for your reply. Cameras are set at 2k and was just accessing using android phones standard video player. Have installed the suggested video player and they now play but at a reduced 1080 which I presume the player reverts to if it cannot show at 2k due to a codec issue. I didnt set the cameras to 1080 so either the player does it or the cams are not recording at 2k.
Phone is Android 10. Cameras set to 2k, have now installed suggested video player and now plays but at 1080 not 2k. I presume the player runs it in lower definition because it cannot handle 2k but unsure. System shouldnt be recording at 1080 as cameras set to 2k.
Detailed differences between the four variants of the codec pack can be found on the comparison of abilities and comparison of contents pages. The other smaller variants are: Basic, Standard, and Full.
To play such videos you need to use the included MPC-HC player and select MPC Video Renderer or Madvr as the video renderer. These video renderers can automatically send the HDR metadata to your TV when it is HDR capable. Otherwise they will convert the video colors to SDR so you can watch it on a normal monitor/TV.
