https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=27025 --- Comment #6 from Thue Janus Kristensen <thuejk@gmail.com> --- > I agree the term can be misleading for non-experts. Do you have a good authoritative source or two for the precise definition of codec? Wikipedia is not an authoritative source, but seems very clear on the point that a specification is different from its implementations, and an implementation (not the coding specification) is called a codec: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codec I have actually looked a good deal, without finding anything really good. Many other google results for "codec definition" seem fuzzy in their definitions. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.
