Description
This addon includes several additional codecs that are missing
something - perhaps a good code review, some documentation, a set of
tests, a real live maintainer, or some actual wide use.
However, they might be good enough to play your media files.
These codecs can be used to encode and decode media files where the
format is patent encumbered.
Although patent encumbered formats like MP3 are sometimes a way of life
you should always try to produce and distribute content using free
formats like Ogg and Theora whenever possible.
A codec decodes audio and video for for playback or editing and is also
used for transmission or storage.
Different codecs are used in video-conferencing, streaming media and
video editing applications.
