Although Windows 7 have higher compatibility in playing the
different file formats as compared to the Windows Media Player of Windows XP
and Vista by default but still there are certain codecs which even Win 7 is
unable to recognize and play by default.
There are more audio and video formats that are used today
like flv, mkv or ogg etc but these are not recognized by default by Windows 7
and even it don’t show the thumbnails for them. So here is a codec pack that is
designed specifically for Windows 7 so that it can recognize and play most of
them easily.
The codec pack I am talking about is called the Win7codecs,
and installing this codec pack ensures that our system gets the following
codecs which were missing from it:
amr | mpc | ofr | divx | mka | ape | flac | evo | flv | m4b
| mkv | ogg | ogv | ogm | rmvb | xvid
The advantage of using this codec pack over others is that
it will install only the missing codecs and does not install any additional
software however you will manually need to associate the file types with the
Windows Media Player to be able to play these file formats.
