I have windows media player 11 and vlc. I also have the k-lite codec pack. When i try to play .avi and .mpg (i havent tried anything else). The video is in black and white for both players. The sounds works but its black and white. I tried installing all the available options in the k-lite pack and installing each codec indivudually but it still turns out black and white.

Try uninstalling WMP 11 and VLC, then reinstalling VLC. Use AutoGK to determine what codecs you need e.g. XviD and DivX. I wouldn't install WMP anything unless you know for sure you have Microsoft DRMed media and you absolutely need it. Even then I'd only go with WMP 9, no higher.

Also uninstalled K-lite codec Pack. Some people say you shouldn't use codec packs and that they can really screw up you system, but I KNOW the last thing you should do is use ALL OPTIONS. If at all possible, use a restore point to get back to before the codec pack was installed.

-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.
