Codec Guide Update

The folks at Codec Guide recently added an update to their K-Lite codec pack, which is now at version 4.1.7. While you are there, check out their useful tips as well. A really good tip is the one about using KeepVid.com to download streaming videos.

With KeepVid, you can simply input the address of the streaming video and they give you the download link. It's worth checking out, considering that more and more people are posting to sites like YouTube. You are bound to come across a case that requires you to download the video from YouTube. When you get there and can't find the download link, check out KeepVid.

K-Lite is a nice little package for known codecs in common containers. It will not remedy nor assist with encrypted codecs DVR MFG's utilize. Furthermore, if by chance a DVR codec is decoded within the K-Lite offerings, the metadata (date/timestamp) will not be displayed. As well, several Matroska containers with h264 codec will not be compatible with K-Lite.
