A codec is a technique (compression algorithm) used to reduce the size of a video file. When a video is coded with specific codec and it is not present or properly installed on user's machine, the video won't play at all, or it won't play properly.
To help solve this, you can use one of these codec analysis tools:-
1. VideoInspector:- Analyses most containers (AVI, Matroska, MPEG and more) and gives download link for the missing codecs.
2. Gspot:- A pioneer in troubleshooting video applications, Gspotr is a very useful tool despite being lacking in some features.
The above mentioned software can be downloaded and run to analyse a video file. However, some caution serves well while installing any codec, since certain ones are known to be incompatibilities with some media players.
