WHAT IS A CODEC?
CODEC IS NOT A TYPO ON KODAK.
CODEC MEANS "COMPRESSION DECOMPRESSION".
When using High Definition cameras the analog signal is converted to 
digital bytes and the information takes up to much space for the device 
it is recorded on so it must be compressed when it is being captured or photographed.
I can be captured or (compressed) on P2 card ( above) or a HD Cam tape or an HD Cam SR tape e.t.c.
When the information that has been captured is played from one of the above mediums
it is then Decompressed.
Some Codec's have "Lossless" compression while others do not.
