What is a Codec? |
Codec is short for compressor/decompressor, it is any technology for compressing and decompressing data. Codecs can be implemented in software, hardware, or a combination of both.
Codecs are used to make large video files much smaller making them suitable for distribution on the net, either on the web or a LAN or any other method of file transfer like wireless devices etc.
Some times when you are trying to play an .avi file the "Unexpected File Format" or a similar error message displays.This happen if you are attempting to play a file for which the proper codec is not on your system. To correct the problem obtain the correct codec. |

DivX AntiFreeze 0.4
Sometimes DivX video clips contain invalid frames that cause Media Player to freeze the image. Theoretically codec should recover from the problem, but it doesn't. So image is freezed permanently until clip position is manually changed (by moving position slider). DivX AntiFreeze tries to avoid such freezings.
