Video Codec

A video codec is a technology that compresses and decompresses video files. When you record or stream video, it can be very large and difficult to store or transmit. A codec reduces the file size by removing unnecessary data, making it easier to share and save. When you play the video, the codec restores the quality so that it looks and sounds good. Common examples of video codecs include H.264 and VP9, each designed for different purposes, ensuring efficient playback on various devices and platforms while maintaining quality.
