what is it? and why are they different. Couldn't play .avi files from my new toy until i'd installed the correct codec. Don't make sense to me. Mind you i am a simpleton.
It tells the computer how to [b]CO[/b]mpress & [b]DEC[/b]ompress certain types of files.
REally? that explains it.
Good. Now you know 😀
I just think there is no agreed standard for ripping / copying video on to a file.
It's worse than that: there are LOADS of standards. 😀
yes, and if someone doesn't like an existing standard they invent their own.
Just like headsets and bottom brackets.
get vlc no more codec issues (and its free & open source)
Or get the http://shark007.net/ codec pack and you can just carry on using Windows Media player 🙂

I've tried VLC - it was buggy as **** and it doesn't work with Media Center etc.
Plus I don't think it deals with not having new codec any better than Media Player does.
KLcodec pack seems to work wonders...Just install as default and your done!!
VLC comes into its own when watching HD and MP4 stuff.
vlc plays flacs,mp3,mp4 flv and dvds.
