K Lite Mega Codec Pack 64 Bit

[Rosham Rosebure]

Detaileddifferences between the four variants of the codec pack can be found on the comparison of abilities and comparison of contents pages. The other smaller variants are: Basic, Standard, and Full.

To play such videos you need to use the included MPC-HC player and select MPC Video Renderer or Madvr as the video renderer. These video renderers can automatically send the HDR metadata to your TV when it is HDR capable. Otherwise they will convert the video colors to SDR so you can watch it on a normal monitor/TV.

MPC-HC is capable of playing Blu-ray discs. There are just two limitations:

1) It doesn't support Blu-ray menus. It automatically plays the longest title on the disc. Other titles can be accessed through the Navigate menu of the player.

2) The disc must be decrypted using an external tool. For example AnyDVD HD or Passkey Lite.

The codec pack contains a plugin for decoding H.264 MVC 3D Video. To properly watch such videos you should use the included MPC-HC player (64-bit version) and select Madvr as the video renderer. Outputting 3D video to your monitor/TV requires Windows 8.x/10 (or Windows 7 with a modern NVIDIA GPU).

Note: the Basic version does NOT include a player

You need to use it together with an already installed DirectShow player such as Windows Media Player. For playback issues with WMP please read our F.A.Q. for solutions.

This is the recommended variant for the average user. Use this if you don't know what you need. It already contains everything that you need for playback. The extra components that are included in the larger versions provide no benefit for the majority of users.

Important note:

The K-Lite Codec Pack does not expand the import abilities of professional video editors such as Adobe Premiere or Vegas Movie Studio. Those applications often only support importing a small set of file formats, and do not support using the type of codecs that are included in the codec pack (DirectShow/VFW). Modern editors often only use their own internal codecs or only support external codecs of the Media Foundation type.

K-Lite Codec Pack (Mega) is one of the most complete and up-to-date codec packages for both video and audio. Thanks to this package, especially in this Mega version, you can play any movie or audio file stored on your PC hard drive. No matter your default player, with these codecs, you can play any file you want.

The installation of this package also includes several optional video players, including the well-known Media Player Classic and BSplayer, two of the most widespread and reputable players. Basically, K-Lite Codec Pack (Mega) is a great way to get the necessary decoders to watch any movie, video clip, or video fragment you've recorded and exported to your PC.

The main difference between this MEGA version of K-Lite Codec Pack (Mega) and the FULL version is that this one includes the ACM/VFW codecs, which you can use to encode video and audio directly from your computer. It's important to note, however, that these codes only work in applications that specifically support them. Apart from this, the MEGA version, just like the FULL version, lets you play practically everything.

As usual with K-Lite codec packs, K-Lite Codec Pack (Mega) also includes a number of configuration tools and additional filters for better image quality and performance. In short, if you ever have problems playing a file, don't hesitate to install this application and put an end to these errors and incompatibility problems.
