K-Lite Codec Pack

K-Lite Codec Pack Icon
                              Basically, Windows Media Player which comes with windows OS by default can supports some audio/video formats only. If you want to play a Flash video or a 3GP video then you have to install a new third party media player. But, some third party software can play only specific formats. If you want to play a another type of audio or video file that is not supported by the software then we need to download another third party software. It is both time waste and memory waste process.(Of course, there are some softwares like VLC Media player which can play almost all the audio/video formats.)
                               From the Windows Vista OS Microsoft had introduced a handy software "Windows Media Center" which plays audio/video files with high quality. It also can't play the audio/video files that are not supported by the Windows Music Player. 
                               To solve this problem with windows media player there is a software namely K-Lite Codec Pack. By installing the K-Lite Codec Pack, the windows media player can play almost all the audio and video formats. When you install this K-Lite Codec Pack the Windows Media Center also can play almost all the audio/video formats with high quality.


Basically, K-Lite Codec Pack is collection of VFW or ACM codecs, DirectShow filters and tools. There are three types in the K-Lite Codec Pack software. They are as follows:
  1. K-Lite Codec Pack Basic
  2. K-Lite Codec Pack Standard
  3. K-Lite Codec Pack Full

There are some other Codec packs available on the internet. When we compared to those codec packs K-Lite codec pack has following advantages:
Media Player Classic User Interface

  • When you uninstall the software it will not leave any components that are belong to it like other soft wares. So, we can say the name for it is perfect match.

What is Serialization?

Serialization or Marshalling:                        It is the process of converting data structure or object into Network or File or Database Supporting form. Deserialization or Unmarshalling:                       It is the opposite process to Serialization. It is the process of extracting object or data structure from Network or File or Database Supporting form. You may feel tough to understand these definitions. I'll explain you through an example.                 Once upon a time there was a son staying in Hyderabad and his family staying in a village which is very far from Hyderabad, it is famous for good Mangos. One day Son made a phone call to Father and asked that, Father, i want 10KG mangos. So, father went to mangos shop and brought mangos to home.
