What is K-Lite Codec Pack

The K-Lite Code Pack Full Edition is a complete audio and video codec pack for Windows. It should include more than enough pieces of middleware for A/V enthusiasts to watch almost every type of content they might come across. That means you're more than likely able to use WIndows' standard tools and your favorite media player to view any file that you might have downloaded with the app.

That's good news for those who are only just now figuring out that they lack the right kind of file to play a video they downloaded and need to watch it right away. Those who need to listen to music that's stored in rather obscure formats should also find that this codec package allows their software to work with the material in question.

Previously, K-Lite packs came in basic and standard versions. This new full edition contains all of the codecs that you're likely to ever need, so you won't have to worry about installing either of these two previous editions.

When you first install the K-Lite package, it'll prompt you to install some other applications. It's easy enough to say that you don't want them, though the prompt will pester you for a brief moment. Once you have the package installed, you probably won't need to set any advanced configuration options because all of the app's integrated middleware works seamlessly behind the scenes to empower external media players to parse encoded multimedia content.

This means you're relatively free to select whichever media player you'd prefer in order to view media content. This has helped to ensure that K-Lite is a relatively flexible solution for most PC users.
