K-Lite Codec Pack is a collection of VFW/ACM codecs, DirectShow filters and related tools.

Editions

Standard

Standard contains everything required to play the most commonly used formats. This package is designed for the average user.

Full

Full supports even more audio and video formats. It also has encoding support for various formats. This package is for power users and people who do video editing/encoding.

Corporate

Corporate Edition is a special version for use in a corporate environment. It is similar to the Full version, minus a few items, but almost just as powerful. It has a strong focus on open-source software.
