Definition
- A codec—the term is a shortened combination of the words “compression” and “decompression”—is a standard used for compressing and decompressing digital media, especially audio and video, which have traditionally consumed significant bandwidth. Codecs are used to store files on disk, as well as to transmit media (either as discrete files or as a stream) over computer networks. [Source: Encyclopedia of New Media; Codec]
