Install a codec for movie recording

The Character Customizer uses a Unity movie plug-in which can handle a predefined set of codecs for movie recording. By default we use MJPEG, which should be present on most machines and offers decent resultsin turn uses the video codecs present on your machine. You can try out different ones by selecting them from the Codecs int the Options menu of the Character Customizer. MJPEG may be available and is pretty good. Alternatively, you can install any of the other codecs. The Lagarith video codec is a free lossless codec with good performance. It does produce quite large files, which the Character Customizer automatically converts to a more manageable format. You can find this codec here http://lags.leetcode.net/codec.html

Once you have the codec installed, you can select the codec from the Character Customizer by going to Options->Codec in the menu. Your movies will now be recorded using this codec. If a specified codec cannot be found, a warning is generated and uncompressed video will be produced. . (note that you can see a warning of this in the Unity console window when you select a non-existing codec; hit the ~ key in the Unity window to bring up the console).
