Yes, I know, but a bunch of K-Lite codecs is not going to solve the issue either. The K-lite pack has been completely superflous for many years now, as all applications that handle video playback supply their own code to handle video playtback anyway. K-lite has a very bad reputation among those in the professional editing community, as it often contains unwanted malicious malware. If you do any sort of search on K-lite, you will find many warnings about the package.
The fact is her computer is too slow to properly play back the files, and she has already come to that conclusion.
There's a major difference between False Positives and actual malware. Malwarebytes themselves have found their software threw out false positives and rectified the situation without K lite having to change a thing. Norton did the same (personal experience). Just this week I encountered a false positive from a company known as Ezybill. They're a reputable company that offer billing services for companies and organisations. Our council uses them for rates payments. Does this mean Ezybill is malicious? No. Antivirus Heuristics are sometimes far too aggressive.
As far as reputation, hmmm. I'm in the same country as you (going by your location), and work for one of the main TV channels as a video / animation editor. I have done so for 20 years. This puts me in direct contact with a professional editing community. In all of K-Lites existence I've never heard of this bad reputation you talk about, nor have I ever had anyone who uses it in the industry mention this either.
I mean, we can back and forth this for hours but ultimately, we're of 2 different opinions. I appreciate and respect yours, but personally, I find K-Lite to be fine.
