There are several different variants of the K-Lite Codec Pack. Ranging from a very small bundle that contains only the most essential decoders to a large and more comprehensive bundle. The global differences between the 5 variants can be found below. Detailed differences can be found on the comparison of abilities and comparison of contents pages.
Basic | Contains everything you need to play all popular audio and video file formats. Supports playback of AVI, MKV, MP4, FLV, MPEG, MOV, TS, M2TS, RMVB, OGM, WMV, 3GP, WEBM, FLAC, Wavpack, and many more formats! | |
Standard | Same as Basic, plus: * Media Player Classic HomeCinema * MPEG-2 decoder for DVD playback * MediaInfo Lite | |
Full | Same as Standard, plus: * madVR * GraphStudioNext * A few additional DirectShow filters | |
Mega | Same as Full, plus: * ACM and VFW codecs for video encoding/editing * A few additional DirectShow filters * A few extra tools | |
64-bit | Contains 64-bit DirectShow filters and codecs. For an optimal user experience it is highly recommended to install both the 64-bit pack and also one of the 32-bit variants from above. That way you can play your media files in both 32-bit and 64-bit applications. Many programs are still 32-bit, that is why you also need the 32-bit codecs. For example, a 32-bit version of Windows Media Player is used by default on 64-bit versions of Windows Vista/7/8. Windows Media Center and Windows Explorer are 64-bit applications. Those will use the 64-bit codecs. |
