3rd Party CODECs Download
A CODEC is a device
or program capable of performing encoding and decoding on a digital
data stream or signal. CODEC is short for "COmpressor-DECompressor"
or "COder-DECoder". CODECs can be implemented in software, hardware,
or a combination of both. CODECs are used to make large video files
much smaller.
There are hundreds or even thousands
of CODECs ranging from free ones to ones costing hundreds of dollars
or more. On this page you can find links to the main CODECs and
CODEC packs that exist today. Make sure that you know what you are
doing installing various codecs as they are not always compatible.
