SVCD codec

SVCD just like DVD relies on the MPEG-2 codec for compression. While the compression isn't as good as what you can achieve with MPEG-4 based codecs such as DivX and XviD, this format has become popular because it's possible to view burned SVCD movies in many stand-alone DVD players. If you want to watch SVCD movies directly on your computer you first need to install this codec. After you've installed the SVCD codec on your computer Windows Media Player should be able to play SVCD movies.

SMR codec

If you have a movie with SMR in the file name you need to install this codec on your system if you want to view the movie. It is a hack of the MPEG4-encoder (mpg4c32.dll) and the only difference between the original encoder and SMR is that the FOURCC (four bytes in the header, which identify the video stream) has been changed to MP43. After you've installed the SMR patch on your computer, your media player should be able to play movies which require a MP43 decompressor. The patch should only be installed if you really need it.
