Night Owl Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Why isn't the K-Lite Codec Pack 64-bit 3.7.0 listed on the frontpage? According to the K-Lite 64-bit website:K-Lite Codec Pack 64-bitThis is a bundle of 64-bit DirectShow filters that can be used together with 64-bit players, such as Windows Media Center. This pack can co-exist without problems with the regular (32-bit) K-Lite Codec Pack.The 64-bit versions of Windows can run 32-bit software perfectly fine. So it is recommended to use the regular K-Lite Codec Pack when possible. That one contains more, better and faster decoders. You only need 64-bit filters for use with 64-bit applications.Works on 64-bit versions of Windows XP/2003/Vista/Seven.Windows Media Center is a 64-bit application on 64-bit Windows.

KotaXor Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Wondering about this too.It seem both can co-exist together in a x64 OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shought Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 It has been considered, we might have to consider it again (x64 OSes becoming more popular), but I myself am using K-Lite (Mega) Codec Pack x32 on Windows 7 x64 and it works just fine...
