Ekiga supports several audio and video codecs. It includes codecs with excellent quality as well as codecs with medium to good quality. The higher the quality of a codec, the more bandwidth it requires. Moreover, video codecs can adapt their quality to the available bandwidth. This option is necessary in the initial configuration of Ekiga so that it chooses the optimal codec suited to your network connection and so that it adjusts the video quality settings. If your connection type is not mentioned in the list you should select the one closest to your network connection and adjust Ekiga manually with the preferences window (codecs section) later on.
Ekiga-k hainbat audio- eta bideo-kodek onartzen ditu, bai kalitate handikoak eta bai kalitate onekoak nahiz ertainekoak. Zenbat eta kalitate handiagoko kodeka, orduan eta banda-zabalera handiagoa eskatuko du. Bestalde, bideo-kodekek kalitatea egokitu dezakete erabilgarri dagoen banda-zabalerarekin. Aukera hori beharrezkoa da Ekiga-ren hasierako konfigurazioan, zure sare-konexioari ondoen egokitzen zaion kodeka aukeratzeko eta bideo-kalitatearen ezarpenak doitzeko. Daukazun konexio mota zerrendan agertzen ez bada, hautatu zure sare-konexiotik gertuen dagoena, eta doitu eskuz Ekiga geroago, hobespenen leihoan (kodeken atalean).
