Some PC users may have a problem with the media player not reading the.avi format. A similar problem can be associated with both the player itself and the lack of codecs on the computer.
Today, many personal computer users, especially beginners, may encounter a problem - the media player does not play the.avi file. The file format itself is quite common, but in order for the software installed on the computer to play it, special codecs are needed. It is thanks to the codecs installed on the computer that it becomes possible to play certain audio and video formats. In order to solve an urgent problem, you can install such codecs or use a player that will install them automatically.
K-lite Codec Pack
If you already have a modern player installed on your computer, you just need to update the codecs. To do this, you can download the K-lite Codec Pack. K-lite Codec Pack is a player and a universal set of codecs of various audio and video formats rolled into one. Each user can install codecs automatically by choosing one of the options presented: Basic, Standart, Full and Mega. The first option contains the minimum number of codecs. The second one is slightly larger. Full version contains the most popular codecs (most). Mega - includes absolutely everything. Advanced users can easily install exactly what they need. This can be done immediately before the installation process by marking the necessary audio and video formats, which will then be played by this player (including the avi format).
KMPlayer
In addition to the K-lite Codec Pack player, there is another equally popular and demanded player - KMPlayer. This software contains many useful features. With this player, the user can easily play video and audio recordings of most of the most popular formats: avi, dvd, mkv, 3gp, mpeg, wmv, etc. The main advantages of this player are the flexibility of settings, as well as a fairly large number of built-in codecs. Unlike the K-lite Codec Pack, KMPlayer installs codecs automatically, regardless of the user. Thus, it turns out that this player is most suitable for novice users.
On the basis of KMPlayer, another one was created - Daum PotPlater. This option has all the same advantages as KMPlayer. It has a similar interface, almost the same settings, but the difference is that it installs more codecs.
