The K-Lite Codec Pack is a collection of DirectShow filters, VFW/ACM codecs, and tools.
Codecs and DirectShow filters are needed for encoding and decoding audio and video formats.
The K-Lite Codec Pack is designed as a user-friendly solution for playing all your audio and movie files.
With the K-Lite Codec Pack you should be able to play all the popular audio and video formats and even several less common formats.
The K-Lite Codec Pack has a couple of major advantages compared to other codec packs:
- It is updated frequently. So it is always up-to-date with the newest and/or best components.
- All components have been carefully selected for specific purposes. It is not
- just a random bunch of stuff thrown together.
- It is very user-friendly and easy to use.
- The installation is fully customizable, meaning that you are able to install just
- those components that you really want.
- The customization abilities even go beyond the component level. Some
- components are able to handle multiple formats. You can specify exactly
- which components should handle which formats. The pack can thus be fully
- tweaked to your own specific needs and preferences.
- Uninstallation removes everything that was installed by the pack. Including
- all registry keys.
- It is extremely easy to make a fully customized unattended installation with
- the integrated wizard.
- It does not contain any bad, buggy or unstable codecs.
