Important information about the video / audio formats

To play a specific video / audio format (e.g. WMV, AVI, MOV, MP3 etc.) a codec for this format must be installed on the end user PC. All-In-One Protector  Video Player does not include any codec. It uses the one which is available on the end user system. If you deliver a video or audio file in a format which is not included in the default Windows installation, you need to provide a download link to the end user for the codec you need.

 

For MOV files (Quicktime) it is not sufficient to install the Quicktime Player, as this player does not install the codec for other players (see codec download below)

AVI files are a container format which can contain video and audio files in different format. You have to check which formats are used

Files in FLV format require an installed flash version

Although MP4 is ideal for high resolution videos it has the disadvantage, that the user would often have to download the codec. It is therefore more user friendly to use WMV or FLV

 

 

 

Depending on the Windows Operating System and service pack, there are different codecs installed by default but you could always use WMV, FLV for video and WMA for audio. MP3 was included in Media Player 10.

Codec Download

If you use other video formats, include a link to download a free codec, e.g. from www.shark007.net or www.codecs.com or . Always the 32bit codec has to be downloaded (even on a 64bit operating system) as All-In-One Protector Video Player is a 32bit application.

 

A good strategy is to place a codec package installer on the CD you deliver or offer the user a direct link to such a codec pack (check the copyright note of the publisher how you may deliver it). There are packs which contain a lot of codecs like:

Some software vendors like Camtasia  have own codecs (e.g. compressed MP4) - Codec download

 

 

For the codec H264 you always have to install a codec pack even if Windows Media Player can play a video with that codec

For the very rare situation that a user does not have the flash player installed, you can add the following link for FLV files: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
