## Description

Codec Guide develops and distributes the K-Lite Codec Pack, a free Windows software bundle designed to enable reliable playback of a wide range of music and video files. Available for Windows 11, 10, 8.1, and 7, the pack includes essential codecs without unnecessary extras and works with DirectShow-compatible players. Its customizable installer lets users choose what to install, supports unattended deployment, and can detect and repair codec problems. The software supports numerous media formats and codecs, including MKV, MP4, AVI, FLAC, H.264, HEVC, AV1, AAC, and DTS, with hardware-accelerated decoding on compatible systems.

K-Lite Codec Pack also includes the MPC-HC media player and MPC Video Renderer. Depending on the renderer used, users can access features such as HDR and Dolby Vision playback, video upscaling, and seekbar previews. The pack supports Blu-ray playback without menus and online video streaming with the required yt-dlp utility. Codec Guide additionally provides updates, installation guides, support resources, codec utilities, and downloads for extra Media Foundation codecs.
