Except for the most popular audio and video formats, K-Lite Mega Codec Pack allows you to open some rare formats. It also includes codecs for compressions like Divx or Xvid.

The features of this utility software are impressive, as it contains DirectShow video and audio decoding filters, audio parsers, source filters and subtitle filters.

Other features are represented by VFW video codecs, ACM audio codecs, shell extensions and tools such as Codec Tweak Tool, FourCC Changer, MediaInfo Lite, Haali Muxer, GraphStudioNext and VobSubStrip.
