| 690068 | 2008-07-18 08:33:00 | OK Thanks. What does a "Codec" Do? PJ. | Poppa John (284) | ||
| 690069 | 2008-07-18 08:42:00 | A codec is a device or program capable of encoding and/or decoding a digital data stream or signal. The word codec may be a combination of any of the following: 'compressor-decompressor', 'coder-decoder', or 'compression/decompression algorithm Basically it one or a series of little control file/s that recognize the encoding on a DVD |

| 690071 | 2008-07-18 09:00:00 | You shouldn't need to do any configuring. Just install it then run your DVD with whatever player software you have. |
