Codecs are like a couple of k. It's annoying that companies try to make it as hard as possible for you to get these codecs so you have to install crap. My digital camera records these oddly codeced files and I had to look for ages to find which file the codec was as it was difficult to view these files unless you installed the digital camera on the machine you wanted to play them on.
