Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Which of these is NOT a way to view the codecs installed on your computer?

A	The MSINFO32 application on Windows
B	Windows Media Player
C	Third party Applications
D	Microsoft Word setings

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -If the ?video codec is not supported? error appears on Windows or Mac, then download the codec. Search the web for the supported codec of your video file type to install the right codec. Another option is to install a complete codec pack such as K-Lite for Windows and Perian for Mac.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are two kinds of codecs; lossless, and lossy. Lossless codecs, like PKZIP or PNG, reproduce the same exact file as the original upon decompression. There are some lossless video codecs, including the Apple Animation codec and Lagarith codec, but these can’t compress video to data rates low enough for streaming.

Detailed explanation-3: -Run Windows Media Player. Press ALT + H on your keyboard and click About Windows Media Player. Check the version. If it’s 12, move to another fix. Click Organize > Options… Click the Player tab. Check Download codecs automatically under Automatic updates. Try to play the video again. 13-Jul-2022
