What's a Codec?

The logic used for compression and decompression of a movie or sound is stored in a helper file called a codec. When an author creates a multimedia file it is typically very large. To make it smaller it is compressed using a codec and the identity of the codec is stored in the header of the multimedia file.

That make sense, if not I will explain more at nopi..
