Codec Pack will help you to watch 99.9 percent of media files (video and audio) on your PC under Windows 7 OS.
A codec is a device or computer program capable of encoding or decoding a digital data stream or signal. The word codec is a portmanteau of “coder-decoder” or, less commonly, “compressor-decompressor”. A codec (the program) should not be confused with a coding or compression format or standard – a format is a document (the standard), a way of storing data, while a codec is a program (an implementation) which can read or write such files.
A codec encodes a data stream or signal for transmission, storage or encryption, or decodes it for playback or editing. Codecs are used in videoconferencing, streaming media and video editing applications.
