    Video files and codecs
    If you downloaded a video file before and tried to view then only got audio (sound), you probably didn’t have the required codecs to play that video.

    Most videos available online to download require codecs because they are compressed, basically to provide the same quality with less size, examples for video compressions are DivX, XviD, or just a video converted to FLV (flash video), usually FLV videos have poor quality but the file size is very small.
