What are codec parameters?

Codec parameters are settings and specifications that define how audio or video data is compressed, encoded, and decoded by a codec (coder-decoder). These parameters can include bitrate, resolution, frame rate, sample rate, and codec type, which influence the quality, file size, and playback compatibility of the media. Adjusting these parameters allows for optimization based on the intended use, such as streaming, broadcasting, or archiving. Understanding codec parameters is essential for achieving the desired balance between quality and performance in multimedia applications.
