WORD - Codecs

Do you know what video codecs are?  They are a way of compressing your audo/video files.  You need to understand what types of codecs to use on your audio and video projects.  Codecs are a way of  representing a fundamentally analog data set in a digital format.  Without adding compression (codecs) to your audio or video, your project’s quality would be the best, but your file size would become too large to distribute.  When adding codecs, you must make a choice between file size and project quality.  Many codecs like H.264 offer great quality with minimal file sizes.  You can read more about codecs and compression here.
