In Reply to: What is an encoder? posted by M Carr on June 25, 2000 at 16:34:36:

an encoder is what is used to save a file in a particular format [it "encodes" it]. then a "decoder" [winamp, realplayer, etc] decodes it, usually in realtime but some do not [such as cep --- it reads the entire file in as a wave which can then be editted].
