13 <p>In order to play audio and video, devices need compression/decompression |
|
14 (codec) software or hardware that performs conversions between different |
|
15 compressed data types. Software codecs are implemented in software |
|
16 only, whereas hardware-accelerated codecs use hardware to perform |
|
17 some of the functions for increased processing speed. For more information, |
|
