Review by:
4.0/5

We’ve all been there, at least once in our PC user interaction, when we wanted to play a particular video file, but our enthusiasm got interrupted suddenly by a message notifying us that we were missing a certain video codec. And we all know the hassle of having to manually find it on the Internet and then perform the installation and set up all the required steps, and whatnot. This is where K-Lite Codec Pack Basic can provide a helping hand, by offering you a collection of codecs that come sporting a very intuitive deployment and a multitude of additional settings, which allow you to fine-tune their behavior in great detail.

Right from the start, the deployment setting will prompt you to choose to either update an existing installation or, if required, create a new library altogether. Regardless of which you choose, you will be happy to know that the included wizard offers a very succinct and swift installation.

You can either choose individual components for each playback option or, let all the default settings on, as the codec deployment will cater to them automatically.

What I enjoyed about K-Lite Codec Pack Basic is the fact that in addition to providing such a swift and straightforward deployment, it also offers an advanced configuration module.

If you’re keen on tweaking all the available settings and avoiding the defaults, this is good news for you, as it you will be able to adjust a very wide range of parameters that pertain to more than just playback.

This codec pack is both easy to install, as well as full of diverse features, which can allow you to perform an in-depth tweak for the characteristics of your audio and video playback settings.
