There are three modes to choose from:

Simple mode: Provides fewer customization options (selectable player, device speaker type), most options are set by default

K-Lite Mega Codec Pack Additional 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.

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.
