What is a Codec? A codec compresses or decompresses digital media formats, some examples of codec are MP3 (audio) and MPEG (video). Codecs are used by your operating system (for example Microsoft Windows Vista) to translate these differing digital media formats.

The problem with having so many different formats is that the operating system requires more software to be able to decode the video/audio. Thankfully Shark007.net with the help of the MSFN community has released a codec package which bundles the most common codec’s into one simple installation for Windows Vista.
