K-Lite Codec Pack is a collection of VFW/ACM codecs, DirectShow filters and tools. Codecs and DirectShow filters are needed for encoding and decoding (playing) audio and video formats. The K-Lite Codec Pack is designed as a user-friendly solution for playing all your 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 it always very 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 only install those components that you really want.
* For some formats a choice can be made during installation between different filters. This allows you to tweak the pack 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 has been very well tested. The pack doesn't contain any conflicting or buggy codecs.
* It tries to avoid potential conflicts with other codecs already installed on your computer.
* The pack is able to detect broken codecs and filters on your system, and helps you to remove them.
* It is a very complete package, containing everything you need to play your movies.
* This pack has a huge user base. This means that problems are found and resolved quickly.
* The pack is suitable for both novice and expert users.

I can never understand who does actually need this?

I use Linux and therefore do not have the problems since Xine, MPlayer is doing fine without any additional codecs.

Other than that, who ever needs all these codecs that K-Lite provides?

The fact is that most majority people would never use anything else than:
DivX/XviD
MPEG
WMV
MKV, H.264, x264
MP3
FLAC

and in rare occasions
Ogg Vorbis

nice stuff ;)
downloading and installing...

how can i config ac3 now? was there an option i didn't check so i could? as it stands now ac3 is a set volume and that's awful.

4.7 released.

fixed my ac3 issue. was my fault. u have to manual select it out from ffdshow. no biggie.

now, i have an issue with mpchc & dispalying sub titles. when installing mpchc instead of mpc there is an option @ the end saying YOU MUST use sum sort of default sub embedder or sum shit. ok, i use it and my subs don't work properly if u will. subs are always on, but i can't change then, not use them and i can't change audio track either. i have yet to try not using it, but it says to use it if u use mpchc. so, i just install mpc then and everything works fine. i'm doing sumthing wrong? i've uninstalled/installed it 3 times 2day. i'll try again later and see if i can fix it w/sum tweaks.

nice
