uncommon sounds. Video format. You can choose not to select the player during

Player. The K-Lite Mega Codec Pack features good compatibility, low system
resources, no startup items, no slow system speed, no need to restart the computer
for installation and uninstallation.

Figure 2 K-Lite Mega Codec Pack installation mode selection
There are three modes to choose from:
Simple mode: Provides fewer customization options (selectable player,
device speaker type), most options are set by default
General mode: All options (optional whether to install Media Player Classic
player), default installation location
Advanced mode: all options, optional installation location
Choose one as needed. Let's take "Advanced Mode" as an example,
because its steps include all the steps in the previous two modes. So, if you
choose one of the previous modes to install, the following steps can be
skipped.
Tip: You can also go back here and re-select the installation mode before
finalizing the installation .
4. Select the installation location. The default is to install in the
default program folder of the Windows system. Look at your habits and change
them all the same. If you want to change it, click the button in the middle
right of the figure below to browse and select the installation location. Then
click Next > below .

very popular player with multi-platform support. In fact, look at their own
habits, depending on your needs, decide whether you want to deselect the red
circle in the picture. The default is selected.
No other components need to be modified, keep the default, and then Next >

Tasks
8, hardware acceleration (Hardware Acceleration) . This situation is a bit
more complicated and may vary slightly depending on the computer configuration.
If your computer has a separate graphics card, you can choose the option that
has a separate graphics card name. The discrete graphics card is currently
NVIDIA or AMD (or ATI). Using hardware acceleration helps ease the stress on
the CPU. However, the current computer CPU is very powerful, and you usually
don't do other work when you watch the movie, so it is good even if you don't
change it at this step. Moreover, even if hardware acceleration is not set
here, but only using Softwre decoding (software decoding, which is calculated
by the CPU), hardware acceleration can be set in the player later.
My computer is an Intel CPU built-in graphics card and NVIDIA discrete
graphics dual card configuration, so I changed it to LAV Video – NVIDIA CUVID
as shown. If you don't want to use a discrete graphics card and just use a CPU
built-in graphics card, you can choose Intel QuickSync.

9. Select the player you want to associate , as shown. Of course, choose
our own preferred player, such as KMPlayer. (Well, I recently changed to
PotPlayer.)
Some people also use PotPlayer. If you are using a PotPlayer that is used
directly after decompression, it is estimated that the PotPlayer item will not
be displayed.
So, if you haven't installed KMPlayer yet, or if the commonly used player
isn't listed here, it doesn't matter, the normal player will automatically call
the installed and available decoder.
Then Next > go to the next step.

10. File association.
There are two situations:
If a player is selected in the previous step, the file association here
will be associated with the player;
If you did not select any player in the previous step, this step is not
displayed and you skip to the next step.
If you choose KMPlayer, select the file association for the player we just
selected (KMPlayer), which is the type of file you want to play with KMPlayer.
On the left is the video file, it is recommended to directly check the box
above to achieve the full selection; the right is the audio file, it is
recommended not to choose (because I personally, I only use mp3 format audio,
and only use iTunes to play), of course you You can also choose according to
your own preferences. Then Next

format you can see without having to look around the Internet for its price tag
or a player that supports this format.
B, K-Lite Mega Codec is completely free, you can
freely spread it.
C. You don't need a lot of players to use it.
Even if you install this decoder software, the media player that comes with
your computer can do the job of playing any movie . Is it amazing, so you can solve
all problems by using the built-in player, instead of installing a pair of
miscellaneous software, you don't have to worry about the downloaded playback
software with ads!
This package contains not only the decoder, but
also the media player classic. If you don't need it (generally not needed,
because it comes with English).
KLM is in English, but don't worry, because once
you install it you don't care about it, and it is very simple to install, as
long as you can all the way to the next, the only thing you need to do is to
cancel the installation of media player classic.
There are three versions of the KLM decoder:
Basic, Standard, Full, Mega. Basic has the fewest decoders, full and Mega come
with all the decoders. If you don't know if basic and standard have the decoder
you need, then the full and Mega versions are available.
