The codecs available are not part of DAZ Studio. They depend on what you have installed. For example, QuickTime before version 7 didn't include H.264. Studio interfaces with what you have installed on your computer. It sound like you might have some issues with the media software that you have installed. If you provide your OS and video format that you are trying to use we might be able to narrow down the solution.
