About Codecs
Codecs are used with AVI files. Many AVI are large and Codecs ("compressor/decompressor")
have been developed to compress the AVI files so they require less memory.
To correctly play an AVI video, the computer being used must be able to access to the same
decompression Codec used to originally compress the AVI. Many Codecs are available, but an
AVI created on one computer can only be viewed on other computers that have the same Codec
installed.
To determine the Codec used for a specific AVI file:

Right-click on the AVI file and select Properties.

In the Open text box, type msinfo32.exe and click OK.
