 (Prudent Press Agency)--- Maximize the use of the Media Player with further understanding of the difference between Torrent and Codec Most of the New Digital Media Player will come with a Bittorrent client , A BitTorrent client is a computer program that manages downloads and uploads using the BitTorrent protocol. A ( .torrent file ) is NOT a video format. You need to open the( .torrent) file in a bittorrent client such as µtorrent , BitTornado or Azureus and many others . The client will then download the video file (most commonly .avi ) which you can then watch on your computer ,such avi file can be transfer then stored on the Media Player directly for your selection to watch at anytime Nowadays , video codec and formats are really the first major concern of AV Specialist and those " torrent -Non-so-legal movie " down-loaders.
The Video technology has evolves over the years , and Now the same file size that allows us to watch Mediocre quality AVI s has changed and allows us to store High Definition 1080i and this are possible due to the availability of new codec software The concept of codec A non-compressed video image occupies a big file space , and to stream over the internet it will require to have a frequency of at least 25 or 30 images per second, which produces a data flow that is more than 1.5 GB per minute. Definitely this type of flow of stream data is Not compatible with the storage spaces of personal computers. Thus, in order to overcome this difficulty, it is possible to resort to algorithms that allow the data flows to be reduced by compressing/decompressing the video data. These algorithms are called CODEC ( for Compression / Decompression). All codec (a contraction of code/decode which stand for compression-decompression ) is a software module that contains algorithms used by encoding or playback software to encode or decode video or audio information To facilitate the easier transfer of Video files , Codec are develop into various format , and these are indentified and put into Video containers format in order for user to differentiate between the various type of video files , the more popular includes AVI , MPEG/MPEG-4 , MKV, RM/RMV ,MOV, WMV ,etc . There is great comparison list of these container format and their respective restriction , and you can access to Wikipedia for an elaborate list of the different type of codec and their features. All such different containers provide support for different audio and video compression Now in simpler terms ; to play any Digital video file or media , you will require ; -A Media player (or the software) and the necessary codec. We are all familiar with media player but the term that need some attention is the word : "codec ". In simple terms codec is like the key and your video file is like the lock, so you need the right key or the codec to actually view( unlock ) the file that was used to encode the file. This situation may causes problems to some users if they don't have the proper codec on their system., and may expect all Media can be played without a Pre-conversion to the format accepted by the player So, in order to play a video file, your setup has to be able to handle both the actual video codec and the container. Which is also why when you sometime play an AVI file and Windows Media Player does not seem to display the video even though it totally played and the container seems was no problem, but in actual fact it didn't have the right codec There are many codec packs around ,eg. Vista / XP Codec Pack is one of the most completed codec packs which helps you to play all major audio and video formats. Most Digital Player unit now comes along and support most type of Video and Audio codec ....Formats supported for playback include WMV9, WMV-HD, DIVX, XVid, HDV, MKV, H.264, VOB (DVD layouts), ISO, MP3, WMA, FLAC, WavPack, PCM, DTS, and many more.---- have a peace of Mind and ENJOY!!!!!!
