User Reviews of the "windowscodecs.dll"

  • SAFErating from user MikeOne (Variant: 4424655)

    This dynamic linking library is part of the Microsoft Windows Codecs Library package. The Windows Media Audio and Video codecs are a collection of objects that you can use to compress and decompress digital media data. Each codec consists of two objects, an encoder and a decoder. The term codec is an amalgamation of the terms compressor and decompressor. A codec is usually implemented as a pair of COM objects: one for encoding content, and another for decoding content. In some cases the COM objects occupy the same dynamically linked library (DLL). More info about this set of libraries is described on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ff819508(v=vs.85).aspx
