Get all the Windows 7 Codecs

A codec is software that is used to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or video. Windows Media Player, Windows Movie Maker, and other programs use codecs to play and create digital media files.
For example, when you rip a song from an audio CD to your computer, Windows Media Player uses a codec to compress the song into an audio file. By default, the Player uses the Windows Media Audio codec to compress the song into a compact WMA file.

Then, when you play the song that you ripped to your computer, the Player uses a codec to decompress the audio file and output the music to your speakers. The same is true for nearly all music or video files on your computer or links to music or video files that you click on a Web site.

If you've been wondering why Windows 7 can play many of your media files out-of-the-box, it's because Windows 7 now natively supports most popular formats including H.264, Xvid, and DivX.

Even so, there are many other multimedia formats that Windows cannot play without the proper codec. To solve this problem, you can download a codec pack. A codec pack basically contains many other codecs required to play certain media files so you don't have to download them one-by-one.

You may or may not want a codec pack. A codec pack would be good for those who want to view a variety of different media formats without having to download another media player, or for those who don't want to worry about downloading additional codecs in the future.

Windows 7 Codecs is such a codec package specifically designed for Windows 7. The codec package for Windows 7 has been developed by the same author who created the Windows Vista Codec Package. It adds global support for a wide variety of codecs like XVID or Realmedia.

Here is the download link for the Windows 7 Codecs package.
