‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ **[|Amalphy Alexander]** ‍‍ __ DEFINITION :A (n) codec encodes a data stream or signal for transmission, storage or encryption, or decodes it for playback or editing.__ ‍‍‍‍‍‍Codecs are used in videoconferencing and streaming media applications. A video camera's analog-to-digital converter (ADC) converts its analog signals into digital signals, which are then passed through a video compressor for [|digital transmission]or storage. A receiving device then runs the signal through a video decompressor, then a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for analog display. The term //codec//is also used as a generic name for a video conferencing unit. In digital music there are two categories of codec used for audio files. These are lossy and lossless.

Many of the more popular codecs in the software world are lossy, meaning that they reduce quality by some amount in order to achieve compression =====

An example of a lossy audio codec is the[| Lame encoder]which is used to convert audio data into the MP3 format. There are also many lossless codecs which are typically used for archiving data in a compressed form while retaining all of the information present in the original stream. An example of a lossless codec is FLAC which produces audio files that are identical to the original. ‍‍‍‍‍‍  ‍‍‍‍‍FUN FACT : the word codec is a acronym for co mpression & __dec__ ompression sources: [] [] [] The picture below shows audio codec media type="custom" key="12121212"

Sydney Australia has always been one place i would love to visit. Every since I’ve seen the Sydney Opera House on Finding Nemo, I have been dreaming to get there. It sucks since the only time I can go is the summer time but Australia weather is so different from the U.S. For ex. In the summer time in the U.S Sydney is freezing cold, but in the winter time over here its warm weather. So Because of the weather problems i guess ill have to wait to go to my dreamland later on in future :(
