Codecs: Your Complete Guide
Codecs are software applications that allow music and video files to be played and created using a media player. They are essential for playing formats like MP3, DIVX, WMA, WMV, MPG, OGG and all other media formats. Most operating systems include support for at least a handful of codecs, while additional codecs can be downloaded from the internet. Some media players, like VLC, include their own codecs, which removes the need to download them separately.
