This is a listing of open-source codecs—that is, open-source software implementations of audio or video coding formats, audio codecs and video codecs respectively. Many of the codecs listed implement media formats that are restricted by patents and are hence not open formats.
VP8 is an open and royalty-free video compression format released by On2 Technologies in 2008.. Initially released as a proprietary successor to On2's previous VP7 format, VP8 was released as an open and royalty-free format in May 2010 after Google acquired On2 Technologies.
A video coding format [a] (or sometimes video compression format) is a content representation format of digital video content, such as in a data file or bitstream. It typically uses a standardized video compression algorithm, most commonly based on discrete cosine transform (DCT) coding and motion compensation .
HandBrake's backend contains comparatively little original code; the program is an integration of many third-party audio and video libraries, both codecs (such as FFmpeg, x264, and x265) and other components such as video deinterlacers (referred to as "filters").
x264 is a free and open-source software library and a command-line utility developed by VideoLAN for encoding video streams into the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video coding format. [2] It is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License .

The quality the codec can achieve is heavily based on the compression format the codec uses. A codec is not a format, and there may be multiple codecs that implement the same compression specification – for example, MPEG-1 codecs typically do not achieve quality/size ratio comparable to codecs that implement the more modern H.264 specification.
FFV1 (short for FF Video 1 [1]) is a lossless intra-frame video coding format. FFV1 is particularly popular for its performance regarding speed and size, compared to other lossless preservation codecs, such as M-JPEG2000. [2] [3] [4] The encoder and decoder have been part of the free, open-source library libavcodec in the project FFmpeg since ...
