Supported Audio and Video Codecs

High-quality digital media files can require a large amount of storage space. To minimize file size, digital media files are often compressed by using software called a codec (short for compressor/decompressor). To play the file, it must be decompressed by using the same codec that compressed the file.

Windows Media Player 10 Mobile for Smartphone can play files that have been compressed by using any of the following audio and video codecs. You can determine which codecs a file uses by checking its file properties (select Menu, and then select Properties).
