What is in a codec?

A codec is a piece of software on either a device or computer capable of decoding or encoding video and audio data from files, streams, and broadcasts. The word Codec is a portmanteau of 'compressor-decompressor'.
Depending on its function, a codec will sometimes be described as a splitter, reader, decoder, encoder, or filter.

Why use a codec pack?

A codec pack is a software package designed to install a large number of codec components in one go, as simply and efficiently as possible, or as in-depth as you might wish it to be.

Options that would be incompatible with your computer are disabled.
