MPEG-2 Video Extension

Microsoft

MPEG-2 Video Extension is the official codec for Windows 10 that allows you to play MPEG-2 and MPEG-1 encoded videos. This video compression format is widely used in non-Full HD videos. For example, there are some videos in MP4 or MKV formats that are recorded using this codec. There are also videos in MPEG, MPG, TS, M2TS, and AVI formats that may cause problems. Most third-party video players include all the codecs you need. However, the native Windows player does not include it. Therefore, if you want to watch videos in these formats with the Photos app or the Movies & TV app, you have to install this extension. After installing it, you can watch videos with this codec and view thumbnails for the videos in File Explorer. This extension is useful not only for playing videos that you have stored on your PC, but also for reading DVDs on your computer. MPEG-2 was the format used to encode movies on the discs that came before Blu-ray. Therefore, after installing this codec, you'll have no problem playing any movies you own on DVD. So, if you want to play any videos in this format, don't hesitate to install MPEG-2 Video Extension.

AV1 Video Extension

Microsoft Corporation

AV1 Video Extension is the official AV1 codec available for Windows. Developed by Microsoft, it allows you to view content recorded with the AV1 codec, as well as encode it. The AV1 codec is developed by the Alliance for Open Media, in which companies such as Google, Apple, and Microsoft participate. The codec is the successor to HEVC, offering better compression. As a result, higher quality can be obtained with the same file size. And with the same quality as HEVC, you can create files that take up less space. On average, it is 30% more efficient than HEVC when compressing 4K video. The AV1 standard also has the advantage of being open. As a result, there are no royalties to pay for using or installing it, unlike HEVC. After installing it, you can watch AV1 encoded videos on streaming platforms. You can also play those stored on your hard drive through the Movies & TV app. So, if your PC has a processor or graphics card capable of decoding AV1 content in hardware so that it consumes fewer resources and less power, you can download AV1 Video Extension to your Windows PC.

VP9 Video Extensions

Microsoft Corporation

VP9 Video Extensions is the official codec for Windows that allows you to play content encoded in VP9. By installing this codec, all native Windows players can use it to decode videos with hardware instead of software. That includes the Movies and TV app, as well as the Photos app. VP9 is one of the most widely used codecs on the Internet for compressing streamed video. Its popularity skyrocketed when YouTube started using it, and now many videos use this codec for its excellent compression and resulting file sizes. With VP9 Video Extensions, you can decode both VP9 and VP8 files, which is the previous version. If your computer is unable to decode VP9 Video Extensions with hardware, this codec allows you to play it with software in the smoothest possible way. However, playback may not be as smooth on less powerful devices whenever the content is decoded with software. So, if you want to play VP9-encoded files on Windows, don't hesitate to download VP9 Video Extensions. If you also install the AV1 and HEVC codecs on Windows, you'll be able to view any multimedia file on the players that come with Microsoft.
