Some codec packs are far from being friendly with our computers, as they slow down Windows, break down multimedia files and make the whole movie watching thing a real nightmare.
That’s why you need to pick a really efficient software, one that does exactly what it’s supposed to do without additional and unnecessary features.
Simply put, this is exactly what K-Lite Codec Pack is meant to do. This is one of the most efficient codec packs out there that’s not only delivered as a very light package but that’s also impressively friendly with computer resources.
Installing it is quite easy, unless you’re a geek and really enjoy getting deeper into advanced settings. K-Lite has numerous advanced customization options but unless you’re a power user, you shouldn’t spend too much time on this screen, you wouldn’t want things to go wrong, would you?
We can’t do anything else but applaud K-Lite Codec Pack because during our test we were able to open any multimedia files stored on your computers, while quality wasn’t at all affected.
Plus, it worked like a breeze from the first try, without major changes to its settings, which is a clear indication that beginners and those who want a codec that just works have come in the right place.
All things considered, K-Lite Codec Pack should be the first on your list when it comes to codec packages. It’s light, freeware, easy to use and gets along perfectly even with slower computers.
