Playing video files in computer can be a headache to some people because it involves video codecs. A video codec is a device or software that enables video compression and/or decompression for digital video. When a video file is being compressed with DivX, you’ll need to have DivX codec installed in order to watch the video. Most of the time we don’t know what is the compression being used to compress the video file, so we install codec packs to support playing all video files. There are tons of video codec packs that you can find on the Internet such as K-Lite Codec Pack, Combined Community Codec Pack, Nimo Codec Pack, XP Codec Pack, Windows Essentials Codec Pack, and many more!

When codec pack works, then it works. But if it doesn’t, you are going to go through a lot of trouble trying to cleanup the old installed codec to reinstall a different codec pack or a newer version codec. If you need show video presentation to your client, don’t risk your business by trying to mess around with video codecs.

A better way would be to convert the video file into a independent self running executable file which don’t require installation of any codecs or media players to play the video.
