30th October 2008

Free codecs package K-Lite has been updated. There are four versions of the package: Standard, Corporate, and Full, and the most complete version K-Lite Mega Codec Pack. Standard version contains the most frequently used codecs; Full also includes the possibility of coding. Version Corporate is approximately equivalent to Full and is intended for use in business environments where it is important to use free applications. Finally, K-Lite Mega Codec Pack includes the entire package of codecs K-Lite Codec Pack Full, as well as an alternative version of Real Player - Real Alternative.
The current version updates all packages to version 4.2.5.
The latest version of the package adds the program Media Player Classic Home Cinema 1.1.843, which contains some improvements compared with Media Player Classic. These are DXVA decoders for H.264 and VC-1 video, the support of the EVR video renderer. So far, Media Player Classic is used by default, because version Home Cinema is at the stage of testing.
In addition, this release updates ffdshow, RealMedia components, codec LAME MP3 ACM, the utility MediaInfo Lite; it also removes plug-ins libtheora and tremor for ffdshow (instead Libavcodec is used).
