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.

Advantage of that build compared to regular ffdshow builds is that it has better decoding performance for H.264 on CPUs with multiple cores.
This version of the codec pack is compatible with Windows 7. Tests show that there are only some issues with loading subtitles in some players. Read the FAQ for solutions for those subtitle issues.
