Compatibility of a codec with Windows vista

I want to know if windows vista, can recognize a cocec K-litecodecpak. I have
to work with a web thar uses a fieldtrack with audios, but whenever I triy to
listen to the audios, I can't hear them right, The length is about a minute
or minute and 20 secs, but i just here the first 20 secs, and i really need
to know about it, cause everybody is telling me to change my system, from
vista tio XP, but when i made the consult at HP, they told me that would
bring me troubles, so please if you can answer me as soon as possible, I'd be
really glad.

Hi Carolina,

No the Klite codec pack does not work well if at all with Vista,

Since you can hear the first twenty seconds, that clearly indicates that you
have the audio codec in question on your system. Anyone subsequently
advising you that you need "codecs" would thus seem confused to me.

What's the web URL that shows this strange audio clip?
Does it work on a second machine or for a friend?

zachd, The problem lies with the codecs since they are not designed for
use within Vista and thus causing the problems..The KLlite codec pack is
question here was designed for XP not vista plus its using codecs from
over two years ago..

I'm extremely aware of the problems that have been engendered by the K-Lite
codec pack team.

The codecs themselves do not need to be "designed for use within Vista".
That statement has no real technical value. Most problems they would have
within Vista would have preexisted within XP. And that would again come
down to a sole codec that is having problems.

As such, we should temporarily assume that (because the video is playing)
that they definitively have a codec installed. If that codec is not
compatible, we should look into that directly - as opposed to spackling over
some hideous problem by applying yet another problematic codec pack.

The idea here would be to move forward on the single problem, as opposed to
introducing new ones. Throwing lots of software at a problem is generally a
poor path towards resolution. Especially given the sheer incompetency of
almost every package which uses its own subinstaller for each codec, which
means you potentially get into all sorts of stupid cross-package failures
quickly. =\

It's a definite mess. Let's just focus on the single problem here of the
broken codec for now though. =)

So all the changes in the audio and video Foundations of Vista aren't really
important codec wise?

We're kind of leaping from field to field, and that's likely going to
confuse everyone. =)

The specific context is as regards DirectShow filters and VFW codecs as
installed by some random party. The same filters/codecs as would work
elsewhere should work in the same fashion upon Vista. Thus the comment that
a DirectShow filter or VFW codec won't work because it "as not designed for
use within Vista" is rather a non-statement.

I would attempt to rephrase dmex's comments as "Vista's saner memory
handling means that broken codecs that were broken elsewhere will probably
crash cleanly as opposed to corrupting memory as they would in XP."

And thus we're not talking about Media Foundation or Vista itself in any
meaningful fashion, just about bad third party code. I apologize for any
confusion engendered here.

I found new codec pack called: PURE CODEC 2008. you have to uninstall
all codecs in vista and download this one. I read lot about it and seems
that it is effective but i didnt use it yet waiting to discuss that in
this forum especially with mr. Brink the administrator of the forum and
I have full confidence in his opinion. thanks
