The K-Lite Codec Pack Basic comes in three separate versions for different tiered users. From the simple basic pack, which includes the most common video and audio codecs and includes subtitle support, the K-Lite Codec Pack Basic version will allow the majority of users to watch and listen to their content with relative ease.

One main difference of K-Lite Codec Pack Basic is that it does not include Media Player Classic Home Cinema. This simple media player is the easiest to use, but not necessary in K-Lite Codec Pack Basic. Windows Media Player is more than enough for the small amount of codecs in this set.

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.

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. Even though K-Lite Codec Pack Basic supports audio, it is meant for video. 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 different tested content in K-Lite Codec Pack Basic included MP4, AVI, WMV, and MKV; all at different levels of quality and resolutions. The codec pack had no problem playing any of the files in Windows Media Player. 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.

K-Lite Codec Pack Basic is the perfect set of third-party codecs that are not natively supported in Windows.

AVIAddXSubs is a simple-to-use, free program that incorporates subtitles (XSUB) from .srt (ANSI text, up to 8 srt) or idx/sub (containing up to 8 subtitles) into AVI files containing DivX/XVid video streams.

It works simply by placing the AVI and SRT file into the same directory as the videos you want to play. Your media player should automatically detect them when you open the file. However, what AVIAddXSubs can do is merge the subtitles directly into the video that's going to be played.

This doesn't mean that every time you play the film the subtitles will show however. You still need to activate them within the player that you're using. After this, you can delete the SRT file as it's no longer needed since it has been "burned" into the video. However, sometimes you will find that the subtitles simply do not appear. If this happens, you'll probably have to configure the positioning of subtitles in your video player.

AVIAddXSubs is a great way to avoid needing to include an SRT file with every video you want to view subtitles with but you may have problems locating your subtitles once they've been "burned" in.

If you're a frequent watcher of videos on your computer, you probably know just how many different file formats videos can come in. Sometimes it can be difficult to find a multimedia player that supports the format of the video you want to watch at a given time.

JetVideo is a solution to this issue. The developers claim that JetVideo can play a video in nearly any format, and it seems to be pretty accurate. JetVideo can play videos in AVI, MPG, MPEG, ASF, WMV, AVI and DIVX just to name a few. As an added bonus, Jet Video can also play a variety of different formats of audio files.

On top of that, you can edit tags easily in JetVideo, control sound and video speed and implement various sound effects. JetVideo also comes with an alarm and timer feature. The player's sound quality is very good, and it has a visually appealing interface. The only complaint some beginners might have is that it takes a bit of fiddling around with before all of the player's features become clear.

JetVideo solves the problem of how to play a video or audio file that might not be in a hugely popular format.

Extra codecs may be installed before conversion. Then rename the external subtitle with the video clip name. The program will load the subtitle automatically.

If the subtitle does not match audio or image, set the delay options to sync the subtitle time. Normally the portable devices and DVD players do not support subtitle files, if you want to play video with subtitles, the software provides the solution of muxing subtitle to video, thus you can play those output video files with subtitle on portable devices, even burn them into DVD without subtitles loss.
