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.

Some are combinations of common container formats and audio and video coding profiles, such as AVCHD and DivX formats. Although sometimes compared to DivX products, Xvid is neither a container format nor a video format, it is a software library that encodes video using specific coding profiles of the common MPEG-4 ASP video format. Those types ...
Comparison of video codecs; List of open-source codecs. x265 – an open-source software implementation of HEVC; List of multimedia (audio/video) codecs. H.264/MPEG-4 AVC – the video standard predecessor of HEVC; AV1 – an open format developed by the Alliance for Open Media as a successor to VP9 and a competitor to HEVC
[11] x264 won an independent video codec comparison organized by Doom9.org in December 2005. [12] The LGPL-licensed libavcodec by FFmpeg includes an H.264 decoder. It can decode Main Profile and High Profile video. It is used in many programs like in the free VLC media player and MPlayer multimedia players. FFmpeg can also optionally (set at ...

As an example of conflation, Chromium's [5] and Mozilla's [6] pages listing their video formats support both call video coding formats, such as H.264 codecs. As another example, in Cisco's announcement of a free-as-in-beer video codec, the press release refers to the H.264 video coding format as a codec ("choice of a common video codec"), but ...
