The codecs themselves are necessary for the system when viewing or creating media files; they make it possible to encode (compress) or decode (decompress) video and audio files or streaming video. Without compression, video files would be huge; an hour and a half film without encoding would not fit on any flash drive or CD. Codecs used special algorithms, making it possible to highly compress such files with minimal loss of quality. However, during playback, it is necessary that the same codec be installed on the system, which could decode the film on the fly using the same algorithm.
