When you rip a file and encode it then it uses the "compressor" to caluculate how much and what data is dropped from each frome to encode the movie into a smaller file size, it is then saved into a container which your media polayer recorgnises as a media file. As it opens the container it needs to refer to the "decompressor" to process the data so it can be displayed, If the decompresser isn't present on your machine then it can't play it, This is true of all media files, even when very few "codecs" were in popular use and everything was an avi (or mov, mpeg,wmv....etc etc) |
