Compression Guidelines. Codecs A codec is the format in which your video is encoded. We accept most major codecs, but for best results we recommend using one of the following: H.264 is a standard codec that balances high visual quality with efficient file size.

With a little ingenuity, the British finally figured out how to successfully train new spotters: by trial-and-error feedback.
