This website is constantly up-to-date with the latest audio and video codecs you can find. Since 2006 we gathered statistics about the codecs and we are glad to share with you.
The statistics used to show the popularity of each codec are provided by a software called VideoInspector created by our partner KC Softwares. We strongly suggest to use that tool if you experience any problem with a video file.
