The default media player in Windows is not able to play all music and audio file types . You might have noticed this problem while playing DVD video files in freshly installed Windows XP system . Similarly we have DivX ,Xvid ,3GP (mobile video) ,AAC and more other popular formats which are not playable in Windows  . A codec pack is collection of plugins ,encoders and decoders that will assist the default media player to play these unknown media formats . Win7codec is similar specially built codec pack for Microsoft’s new OS Windows 7 .

Windows 7 uses Windows media player 12 . We have professional codec packs like K-Lite codec pack compatible with windows media player 12 .
