Win7codecs is an audio and video codec package for Windows 7. The installer will automatically remove most other popular codec releases from your computer before installing this concise yet comprehensive package. You won't need to make any adjustments or tweaks to enjoy your media content immediately. Windows Media Player and Media Center will instantly recognize all your files as playable.
It does not contain a media player and it does not associate file-types. With this package installed you will be able to use any media player, limited only by the players' capabilities, to play all movies and video clips. Streaming video is supported in several formats in all popular web browsers. Users of the Win7codecs have the ability to choose what is installed and where to install it using the public redistributable. After installation you can select to remove specific portions without removing the entire package. You can also re-add the removed items at any time.

Works great here, got these and the x64 ones. No problem's on Windows 7 64-bit. Only using it to have WMP12 64-bit to be default player and to play .mkv files. Everything else is set to microsoft default.

I was impressed with Shark's ability and commitment with the creation of the Vista Codec Package and now that I've switched to using Windows 7, I am in total disbelief at how well he has taken on the task of supplying codecs to this new operating system. WTG SHARK !
As stated on his homesite, he does not interfere with the native decoding supplied by Microsoft, and still enables MediaCenter to play everything I have.
Very nice work.

As usual for his work Shark007 continues to develop, improve and update his excellent and well received set of codecs. Top marks and much appreciated.

frankwick, this doesnt replace any builtin codecs supplied by the operating system. Based on the simple fact that you ask "Why do I need this in Win7?" means that you do not need it.
