Codec For Windows Media Player 12

A codec (short for coder-decoder or compressor-decompressor) is a small program that converts data from one form to another.Unfortunately, filename extensions don’t tell the whole codec story. For example, WMA files can have a WMA 7, WMA 9.2 or WMA 10 format. It’s up to Windows Media Player (or Winamp, which also plays WMA files) to look inside the file and decide which format was used to create the file. After the determination has been made, WMP (or Winamp) hauls in the right codec to decipher the file. You don’t need to lift a finger.Sometimes, though, Windows Media Player doesn’t have the correct codec on hand to play a particular file.

For example, AVI is a popular file format that can be created using a particular kind of video-encoding technique called DivX. Although DivX files are gaining in popularity, Windows Media Player still doesn’t include its codec. So, in order to play a file using this format, you need to install a new codec.
