This page is littered with "download now" buttons that are nothing but advertisements to other stuff I do not want. I cant tell how to download the K-lite codec pack. I am not clicking on any button on this page. You people who run this site should clean this mess up. It looks like nothing but a big scam page. Does the K-lite codec pack even exist?

I've been using K-Lite Codec Pack for so many years that I can't remember when I first started using it. I install K-Lite Codec Packs on all of my / friends / family computers.

I recommend K-Lite Mega flavor for 32-bit Windows. If you have 64-bit Windows, then you need to download that special flavor of K-Lite.

If you don't know what codec collection to get, most people will likely pick a far worse collection than K-Lite. Don't waste your time with other codec collections!

This codec pack is excellent. It does what it needs to do very well and is highly flexible.

I help many people to fix their computers and always recommend this pack when my customers have trouble playing videos. I frequently get e-mails from very satisfied users thanking me for giving that recommendation.

The authors of this pack are also involved in the ffdshow and Media Player Classic projects. They are very knowledgeable and always helpful with providing a fix in case of problems. If you got a problem, go to the Codec Guide support forums and you will get a solution very quickly.

I highly recommend this pack.

AWFUL codec pack. Makes an utter mess of codecs/filters on your system. Avoid at all costs.
