OK so I don't honestly know where to start and exactly how to describe my issue, so bear with me.
I am on the younger side of Video Editors, in my teen years to be more precise.
But I have a passion for creating Gameplay commentaries (Y'know, I record myself with a webcam and I record my screen with a screen capture software, then I jumble em' together and ship it off to YouTube or elsewhere?)
I have recently been exploring the world of Codecs and things, as before I hadn't given much thought to it.
Now, I am wanting to upload videos to YouTube in 720p HD.
I am getting a jumbled, scrambled brain after trying to make out in my head what all these Codecs and things mean.
So basically, I guess I need help on a few areas in particular:
What exactly IS a Codec?
What Codec should I be using to get the best out of 720p HD?
Why are there so many different Codecs?

Can someone just explain these things to me, please?
Thanks to you all!
