0 a device or computer program that compresses data (= makes it use less space) so it can be sent or stored, and decompresses it (= returns it to its original form) so it can be seen or used:
The key to rapid future development will be in the growing sophistication of codec capabilities.
Coding efficiency is much lower than when using highly sophisticated codecs.
The word "codec" is an abbreviation of Coder-Decoder.
It is possible to deliver better-quality digital radio simply by switching to a more efficient codec.
The word codec is a portmanteau of co der- dec oder or, less commonly, co mpressor- dec ompressor.
The bit rate of the speech codec is 7.4 kbit/s.
The project produces an audio coding format and software reference encoder/decoder (codec) for lossy audio compression.
The goal is to offer video and audio playback without being encumbered by patent issues associated with most plugin and codec technologies.
