| Most of the New Digital Media Player will | | | | includes |
| come with a Bittorrent client , A BitTorrent client is a | | | | AVI , MPEG/MPEG-4 , MKV, RM/RMV ,MOV, WMV |
| computer program that manages downloads and | | | | ,etc . |
| uploads using the BitTorrent protocol. | | | | There is great comparison list of these container |
| A ( .torrent file ) is NOT a video format. You need | | | | format and their respective restriction , and you |
| to open the( .torrent) file in a bittorrent client such as | | | | can access to Wikipedia for an elaborate list of |
| µtorrent , BitTornado or Azureus and many | | | | the different type of codec and their features. All |
| others . The client will then download the video file | | | | such different containers provide support for |
| (most commonly .avi ) which you can then watch on | | | | different audio and video compression |
| your computer ,such avi file can be transfer | | | | Now in simpler terms ; to play any Digital video file |

| the first major concern of AV Specialist | | | | We are all familiar with media player but the term that |
| and those " torrent –Non-so-legal movie " | | | | need some attention is the word : "codec ". In |
| down-loaders . The Video technology has | | | | simple terms codec is like the key and your video file is |
