K-lite Codec Pack 64-bit Windows 7
Gracia Bradshaw
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.
MPC-HC is capable of playing Blu-ray discs. There are just two limitations:
1) It doesn't support Blu-ray menus. It automatically plays the longest title on the disc. Other titles can be accessed through the Navigate menu of the player.
2) The disc must be decrypted using an external tool. For example AnyDVD HD or Passkey Lite.
The codec pack contains a plugin for decoding H.264 MVC 3D Video. To properly watch such videos you should use the included MPC-HC player (64-bit version) and select Madvr as the video renderer. Outputting 3D video to your monitor/TV requires Windows 8.x/10 (or Windows 7 with a modern NVIDIA GPU).
The K-Lite Codec Pack is a collection of audio and video codecs for Microsoft Windows DirectShow that enables an operating system and its software to play various audio and video formats generally not supported by the operating system itself. The K-Lite Codec Pack also includes several related tools, including Media Player Classic Home Cinema (MPC-HC), Media Info Lite, and Codec Tweak Tool.[1]
After version 13.7.5, a user can remove installed components by deselecting them while running an updater. This also makes it possible to switch to a smaller variant of the codec pack without uninstalling first.
After version 17.0.0 AC3Filter is removed, because it is obsolete and only a tiny portion of people use it.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]
The last version that is compatible with Windows Vista is version 16.7.6.[9]The last version that is compatible with Windows XP SP3 is version 13.8.5.[9]The last version that is compatible with Windows XP SP2 is version 10.0.5.[9]The last version that is compatible with Windows 2000 is version 7.10.The last version that is compatible with Windows 9x is version 3.45.

Video not playing in Sibelius after a Codec update
Posted by cherrybubbles - 24 May 07:53AM Hide picture Hi!
PC user here. I updated my K-Lite Codec thinking that it would be a good idea, and ever since I did, the video uploaded in Sibelius won't show up at all. If I hit the playback, it would still play the audio of the video.
I tried downgrading the version of the K-Lite Codec, but it's still not working. Thoughts?
Thank you in advance. Attachment No video.PNG.png (270K) Back to top Allthreads Re: Video not playing in Sibelius after a Codec update
Posted by Peter Roos - 24 May 10:00AM Hide picture Hm ... I've been using the K-Lite codes for many years, without issues. Try removing, and then re-adding the same video file to see if that helps.

Posted by cherrybubbles - 26 May 07:52PM Hide picture Hi! Yes, I restarted the computer many times, and re-installed the K-Lite Mega Codec and Sibelius, but the result is still the same.

Posted by cherrybubbles - 26 May 07:50PM Hide picture Hi! It's the same. I even re-installed the latest K-Lite Mega codec, and also re-installed Sibelius. I still get the same result. I didn't have this issue, too, until I updated the K-Lite Codec. Now, the previous versions (I only tried a few) won't work with Sibelius, too. It might not be the main cause of it, but the update definitely triggered the white video screen.

Posted by Robin Walker - 01 Aug 07:48AM Hide picture I think this is a Windows problem, not a Sibelius one. Maybe this problem arrived with Windows 10 version 1803 in April 2018, and you had not tried to play videos in Sibelius since then?
Not everyone has this problem. But those that have it cannot get Sibelius to play videos, even after installing the correct 64-bit DirectShow codecs. Sibelius just shows a blank white video panel, which does not respond to any user input or to score playback.
If you are affected by this particular problem, here is a work-around which seems to enable Sibelius to play videos again:
1. Download and install IrfanView;
2. Open IrfanView, to a blank window;
3. Drag and drop the icon of any video file onto the IrfanView window **;
4. IrfanView will not play the video properly: maybe you hear the sound but not the picture: click "Pause";
5. Put IrfanView into the background;
6. Now Sibelius will be able to play videos, as well as it did before the problem occurred.
** if IrfanView puts up a message about missing codecs, then that is an entirely different problem, and you need to install the appropriate 64-bit DirectShow codecs before Sibelius will be able to play videos. The "K-Lite" codec pack works with Sibelius:

but, on that site, take care not to click on any advert saying things like "Start download": the links for the K-lite download are all in plain text.
