Codec
A codec is a device or computer program capable of encoding or decoding a digital data stream or signal.Codec is a portmanteau of coder-decoder or, less commonly, compressor-decompressor.
A codec encodes a data stream or signal for transmission, storage or encryption, or decodes it for playback or editing. Codecs are used in videoconferencing, streaming media, and video editing applications. A video camera's analog-to-digital converter (ADC) converts its analog signals into digital signals, which are then passed through a video compressor for digital transmission or storage. A receiving device then runs the signal through a video decompressor, then a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for analog display.
Related concepts
In the mid 20th century, a codec was a hardware device that coded analog signals into digital form using pulse-code modulation (PCM). Late in the century the name was also applied to a class of software for converting between different digital signal formats, including compander functions.
Metal Gear Solid
Metal Gear Solid (Japanese: メタルギアソリッド, Hepburn: Metaru Gia Soriddo) is an action-adventure stealth video game developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Japan and first published by Konami for the PlayStation in 1998. The game was directed, produced, and co-written by series creator Hideo Kojima, and serves as a sequel to the MSX2 video games Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, which Kojima also wrote and directed.
Metal Gear Solid follows Solid Snake, a soldier who infiltrates a nuclear weapons facility to neutralize the terrorist threat from FOXHOUND, a renegade special forces unit. Snake must liberate two hostages, the head of DARPA and the president of a major arms manufacturer, confront the terrorists, and stop them from launching a nuclear strike. Cinematic cutscenes were rendered using the in-game engine and graphics, and voice acting was used throughout the entire game.
Metal Gear Solid was well received, shipping more than six million copies, and scoring an average of 94/100 on the aggregate website Metacritic. It is regarded by many critics as one of the greatest and most important games of all time, and is often seen as the game which helped popularize the stealth genre. The commercial success of the title prompted the release of an expanded version for the PlayStation and PC, titled Metal Gear Solid: Integral; and a remake, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes was later released for the GameCube. The game has also spawned numerous sequels, prequels and spin-offs, including several games, a radio drama, comics, and novels.

Banana Man
by: Ghoti HookHe might just look a little bit kooky
But he thinks that's okay
he needs a job to pay off his mortgage and his chevrolet
If tricks you want then he ain't your person
All he does is stand
Except the time when he is running from the policeman
Ah... Ah... Ah... yeah
Banana Man! 1 2 3!
Banana Man! I'm Banana Man!
Banana Man! Dance with me!
Whoa, Oh!
Banana Man! 1 2 3!
Banana Man! I'm Banana Man!
Banana Man! Dance with me!
Whoa, Oh!
It might surprise you he went to college
And got his degree
It's hard to find a job with a major in plant psychology
His identity he tries to keep secret
But not because he's great
Cause the girls will just keep on laughing
And he'll never get a date
Ah... Ah... Ah... Yeah!
Banana Man! 1 2 3!
Banana Man! I'm Banana Man!
Banana Man! Dance with me!
Whoa, Oh!
Banana Man! 1 2 3!
Banana Man! I'm Banana Man!
Banana Man! Dance with me!
Whoa, Oh!
Banana Man! 1 2 3!
Banana Man! I'm Banana Man!
Banana Man! Dance with me!
Whoa, Oh!
Banana Man! 1 2 3!
Banana Man! I'm Banana Man!
Banana Man! Dance with me!
