Have you ever wanted to play an audio or video file on your computer, but when you try, you get the message that codecs are missing? You don't have to worry, it's nothing serious, but it's certainly annoying. It happens that some files, in particular, due to the format in which they are found, require specific codecs to be able to be viewed on computers; without them, we will be left wanting.

Of course, we can manually search for each of the codecs when our computer tells us they are missing, but that would take a lot of time when there are programs that have been developed to perform this task for us. MediaCoder is undoubtedly one of the best applications for finding and downloading all the codecs that our PC may be missing.

The truth is that MediaCoder has a very particular operation since it is in charge of completely modifying the codecs used for the compression of each of these audio and video files, eliminating the problems that may arise at the moment of reproducing them. In this way, you will not need any other program or player, nor the permanently heavy codec packs that some websites offer.

Even the fact that this platform takes care of modifying the compression codecs of each file can be doubly helpful, considering that, in some cases, this will also mean that the file weight will be reduced. As you can see, this is an exciting alternative that you should not lose sight of the next time you encounter those annoying messages that warn you about the lack of codecs on your computer.

What codecs are supported by MediaCoder? All the open-source codecs we can find on the web these days, which means that you can forget about downloading them manually from now on.

In other words, MediaCoder has full support for most of the most used audio and video formats these days, among which we can mention, for example, some like WMV, MOV, MPEG, AVI, or WAV. The truth is that this is a program that, in our experience of use, has not given us any inconvenience related to compatibility, so this is undoubtedly one of its strengths, of course. Another not minor detail is that when you work with this program, you also can take a video file but cut the audio to get, for example, a music track without depending on another program or application. So, if you have downloaded a video clip of a song to your computer and want to keep its audio, you can trim it and have a new file in the audio format you want.

MediaCoder can also be helpful in other cases, such as when we want to make one of our video files compatible with a specific device. Sometimes, smartphones do not play certain formats, so with this app, you can convert them to one fully compatible with your iPhone or Android terminal.

MediaCoder also has the possibility of allowing you to send all the files resulting from your work to a Dropbox space in the cloud so that they remain entirely safe from any misfortune that your computer could suffer on the one hand or so that you have the possibility of accessing them from anywhere, on the other.

Suppose you are wondering about the interface of this platform. In that case, we have to say that although it is not the most modern we can find, it does include several windows and boxes that make navigation easy. Its icons give it some color to make it entertaining so that it passes absolutely without problems in this sense. The only "but" we could point out is that there are some annoying windows the first time we open the program, although we can establish that they will not be present again later.

In summary, if what you want is to have a program that allows you to forget forever about the annoying messages that indicate that you do not have particular codecs on your computer, if you want to modify the size or weight of a file, or if you want to extract the audio track from a video, MediaCoder is probably the best program among the few that perform such a variety of actions so valuable today.

One last detail, perhaps minor concerning MediaCoder, but that undoubtedly more than one user will notice if they download this program, has to do with the fact that although it is translated into other languages, and that is appreciated, we cannot say that the translation is exact. On the contrary, we have found several errors, and that is why we recommend readers set English as the language for this program if they want to suffer fewer errors.
