What is MyFreeCodec?
MyFree Codec contains files which are necessary to play various media files from your device to Samsung Kies. It is automatically installed when upgrading or installing Samsung Kies. KIES utilizes the playing functionality and if it is not installed then you might experience errors when using various features or playing some media files, typically AVI or MPEGs or other movie or audio files.
If you notice the play button is disabled or cannot play some media files when you add music or video files in Kies then most likely the MyFree Codec Pack is not properly installed. When you open files from the Samsung mobile device's memory card in Kies, there should be an option for you to install MyFree Codec
