CODEC is a shorthand way of saying “compressor/decompressor.” It refers to a variety of software products that determine how a movie file, such as QuickTime, should be condensed, or compressed, to save space on the hard disk and to make the movie run faster. You might choose a different CODEC for video images than you would for still photography images. The different choices strike a different balance between picture quality and the size of the file (how many megabytes it requires to store it on the hard disk).
