Simple to install and perhaps useful for users who wish to watch their favourite video files, Windows 7 codec pack claims to be the 'most comprehensive' codec solution for Windows.

It actually isn't absolutely the most comprehensive among codec packs for Windows, it does provide support for the XviD, x264 and DivX codecs and most others (based on open source software). Windows 7 Codec Pack is able to provide the codecs to make playback of most files from the Internet, it includes support for ffdshow, Flash Videos (FLV), Haalo, LAV, GSpot and CDXA codec.

Completely free and available to all, it might be a great alternative to other codec packs which have not been updated since Windows 7 become common place.

The majority of Windows 7 Codec Pack components are decoders, it also includes encoders for create videos in most of the formats it supports.
