The coder part of the codec and demodulator part of the modem are way too different from each other write on some aspects of the difference between both of them?

A codec is a device or computer program capable of encoding and decoding a digital data stream or signal. The word codec is a portmanteau (a blending of two or more words) of compressor-decompressor or, more commonly, coder-decoder. The demodulator takes the wavy analog signal from the line and converts it do a digital signal. The codec puts the transmitted data together from the data the demodulator spits out. A codec is used to more effectively use the bandwidth..

Are the modem and the codec functional inverses ie could an inverted modem?

No, the modem and codec are not exactly the functional inverse of each other. teh modem converts the digital data to analog signal by teh modulating part of it. teh demodulating part of the modem can be used to covert teh ANALOG SIGNAL to digital data....but this analog signal will be modulated analog signal. the coding part of teh codec convert teh analog signals to teh digital signal .these analog signals are pure analog signals. Hence teh codec and modem may seem as functional inverses but do not work as so due to teh fact dat the demodulating part of the modem used only the modulated analog signal and cannot process the pure analog signals .

How do you fix the Sid erorr window DVD maker?

The problem is linked to filter and codec you have installed on your computer. For anyone that have windows vista premium and use windows DVD maker to burn DVD. This is the exact solution to resolve the problem: The filter and codec I installed on my computer was vista codec pack. Maybe some of you installed the same one. The problem comes from this codec pack. You need to remove that pack in the unistall program section. After this, you install this codec pack that works for me and my father and did not cause the SID problem. Install the K-lite mega codec pack (compatible with vista) that you can found here: http://codecguide.com/download_mega.htm For anyone that have the same problem on other burner software and on windows xp, try to install an another codec but you can choose the same one because this codec is windows xp compatible. Hope you will resolve the problem...
