encoder is a video codec to make videos.
Like wmv and Mpeg and Mpeg 4,.h264,Xvid,Divx
Decoder is really important as well.
You need it to watch movies.
Mpeg-4 format.
Its is in a format, you can't read it without the decoder.
Decoder lets you play the video
formats needs codecs
I hope there isn't a double post due to a mylot error

Simple..!
Encoder is an electronic device which converts ordinary language into code(for security reasons encoding will be done), And Decoder does the reverse of it!

'encoder' is a device or software that converts original or raw data to another form, practically used for encryption and/or compression, while 'decoder' is the opposite, reverting the form to its original or raw state
