Free Download K-lite Player For Windows 10 ~UPD~
Tristan Brancheau
Note: the 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.
If you want use the Adobe Flash plugin for opening .swf files in MPC-HC or another compatible player you need to patch the Flash ActiveX plugin. This is needed because it officially stopped working after January 12th 2021. You can use FlashPatcher to remove this time limit.
After version 17.0.0 AC3Filter is removed, because it is obsolete and only a tiny portion of people use it. The options to use ffdshow for decoding is removed as well. However, after installation a user can still use them for decoding by enable them manually with Codec Tweak Tool. Moreover, the ffdshow processing filters are still kept, and new options to load them in all compatible DirectShow players are added.[7]
VLC is great on windows, but SMPlayer is also an excellent alternative:
SMPlayer SMPlayer - Free media player for your PCSMPlayer is a free media player than can play virtually all audio and video formats. It can even play and download Youtube videos. Other interesting features: find and download subtitles, thumbnail generator, resume playback.
Select the player for which you would like to create file associations - Media Player Classic is another player coming ( integrated in this codec pack ) so you should leave this as it is and move on.
I would recommend you to leave all of these options as they are. It doesn`t matter if you use another media player, you can simply re-install your favorite player and it will overwritten those settings. Go to the next step.
I purchased HEVC codec from windows Store, still no luck. Then I did research by using keyword as "windows 11 codec vdo 10-bit" and found this codec "K-Lite Codec Pack Basic" suddenly, I can see all 10 bit files from S1 and S5 in Large Thumbnail mode . Hooray
What is the best media player for playing 4K res 60fps video in Windows 10? I downloaded this 10 min video and it plays really choppy using VLC. Close to being a slide show. But the same video played perfectly using Quicktime in OSX. Like really smooth and no frame dropped at all. All that using just the iGPU.
