A container format (informally, sometimes called a wrapper) or metafile is a file format that allows multiple data streams to be embedded into a single file, usually along with metadata for identifying and further detailing those streams. [1]
Some common multimedia file formats are not completely distinct container formats. Some are containers for specific audio and video coding formats, such as WebM, a subset of Matroska. Some are combinations of common container formats and audio and video coding profiles, such as AVCHD and DivX formats.
The ISO base media file format (ISOBMFF) is a container file format that defines a general structure for files that contain time-based multimedia data such as video and audio. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] It is standardized in ISO / IEC 14496-12, a.k.a. MPEG-4 Part 12, and was formerly also published as ISO/IEC 15444-12, a.k.a. JPEG 2000 Part 12.
A video file format is a type of file format for storing digital video data on a computer system. Video is almost always stored using lossy compression to reduce the file size. A video file normally consists of a container (e.g. in the Matroska format) containing visual (video without audio) data in a video coding format (e.g. VP9 ) alongside ...
M4V – video container file format developed by Apple.mkv – Matroska Matroska is a container format, which enables any video format such as MPEG-4 ASP or AVC to be used along with other content such as subtitles and detailed meta information; WRAP – MediaForge (*.wrap)
Raw MPEG-4 Visual bitstreams are named .m4v but this extension is also sometimes used for video in MP4 container format [21] or in the M4V container format. Mobile phones used to use 3GP , an implementation of MPEG-4 Part 12 (a.k.a. MPEG-4/JPEG2000 ISO Base Media file format), similar to MP4.
Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF) is a generic file container format for storing data in tagged chunks. [2] It is primarily used for audio and video, though it can be used for arbitrary data. [3] The Microsoft implementation is mostly known through container formats like AVI, ANI and WAV, which use RIFF as their basis. [4]
The BDAV format is used on Blu-ray Disc recordable for audio/video recording. [ 22 ] [ d ] Blu-ray Disc employs the MPEG-2 transport stream recording method. This enables transport streams of a BDAV converted digital broadcast to be recorded as they are with minimal alteration of the packets. [ 17 ]
