k-lite codec pack classic media player 

K-Lite Codec.. Pack is a collection of audio and video codecs for Microsoft Windows that enables the operating system and its software to play various audio and video formats generally not supported by the operating system itself.


K-Lite Codec Pack also includes several related tools, including Media Player Classic Home Cinema (MPC-HC), Media Info Lite, and Codec Tweak Tool.[3]
here are five editions of K-Lite Codec Pack, all being available free of charge.[3]

Basic: 
The Basic edition is the smallest version and enables a Microsoft Windows computer to play the contents of AVI, Matroska (MKV), MP4, Ogg and Flash Video(FLV) files. It only consists of ffdshow (for audio and video decoding),DirectVobSub (for subtitle decoding), Codec Tweak Tool and four other minor components.[4] Basic edition is the only edition that does not include MPC-HC or MediaInfo Lite.[5]
Standard:

The Standard edition includes all features of the Basic edition plus a DVD Video decoder, Media Info Lite and MPC-HC. This edition enables DVD playback in Microsoft Windows.[6] This package is recommended for normal users.[3]

Full: The Full edition includes 31 additional components and four additional tools beyond those included in the Standard edition, as well as adding video encoding capabilities to Microsoft Windows PCs. However, no encoding or conversion tool is included in the package.[7]

Mega: The Mega edition adds fourteen additional components not present in any other edition. Amongst these components, there is the original Media Player Classic (in addition to MPC-HC), GSpot Codec Information Appliance and additional language files for MPC-HC.[8]

64-bit: The 64-bit edition is an independent package of codecs that can be used on an x64 version of Microsoft Windows. (It is not supported on IA-64 versions of Windows.) This edition can co-exist with one of the other editions, and in fact the developers recommend installing the 64-bit pack after installing one of the regular packs.[9]

In the past some versions of K-Lite Codec Pack included BS.Player (until it was supplemented with an adware package).[10]
