K-Lite Codec Pack Basic also supports different subtitle formats like SRT, SUB, and IDX, but take a little customizing for the subtitles to display properly. The codec pack had no problem playing any of the files in Windows Media Player.

The different tested content in K-Lite Codec Pack Basic included MP4, AVI, WMV, and MKV all at different levels of quality and resolutions. With the numerous video codecs and encoders creating files that are high quality with smaller file sizes, native Windows support does not exist for all the variations.

The most common codecs like DirectShow, MKV decoders, and MP4 decoders are installed in K-Lite Codec Pack Basic so there is not much more needed for every day viewing. K-Lite Codec Pack Basic’s functionality is also directly connected to the hardware specifications of the system it is running on, so do not expect to be able to easily play high definition content with smooth framerates even though K-Lite Codec Pack Basic is able to render the files. Windows Media Player is more than enough for the small amount of codecs in this set. This simple media player is the easiest to use, but not necessary in K-Lite Codec Pack Basic. One main difference of K-Lite Codec Pack Basic is that it does not include Media Player Classic Home Cinema.
