Codec is an acronym for "Compressor-Decompressor".  A codec is an algorithm or specialized computer program that encodes or reduces the number of bytes consumed by large files and programs, and later decodes the file for display. Files encoded with a specific codec require the same codec for decoding. Some codecs you may encounter in MediaPortal are DivX, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, XviD for video and MP3 for audio.

    •     About The Project

      The vision of the MediaPortal project is to create a free open source media centre application, which supports all advanced media centre functions, and is accessible to all Windows users.

      In reaching this goal we are working every day to make sure our software is one of the best.

    •     Support MediaPortal!

      The team works very hard to make sure the community is running the best HTPC-software. We give away MediaPortal for free but hosting and software is not for us.

      Care to support our work with a few bucks? We'd really appreciate it!
