Some people refer to a container as the "format" or the sometimes the file extension. For instance, "AVI" is a container. MPEG2 is a container, QT/Quicktime's "MOV" is a container, and “WMV” is a container. All these "containers" hold the codecs for both the audio and video signal.</p> <p>So what is a codec? CODEC is a acronym or abbreviation for "<strong>CO</strong>mpressor <strong>DEC</strong>ompressor". When you record or encode, transcode or "recompress" a video/audio signal you compress the signal, and when you play it back, you decompress it. </p> <p>The type of codec you use within the container is also important, especially if you want compatibility between computers or platforms (MAC vs. PC). In other words, not all "containers" or all "codecs" work on all computers.</p> <p>Choosing a container and a codec is actually pretty easy when you follow these steps.</p> <ol> 1. Determine your final product, and what it will playback on.<br /> 2. Pick the container<br /> 3. Pick the codecs based on the platform or delivery (PC, MAC, DVD, streaming or other personal device), quality of compression, file size and specifications of the format. </ol> <p>For video that you want visitors to your site to watch, FLV or FLash Video is a very popular choice as almost everyone will have Flash installed as part of their browsing setup. Again, the arguments about bitrate, size and quality apply.</p> <p>A few comparative tables are <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_container_formats" rel="nofollow">listed here</a> </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/where-to-use-these-video-formats#post-3203 Tue, 02 Sep 2008 17:44:21 +0000 Anonymous 3203@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>Hi, </p> <p>I would also recommend you FLV.</p> <p>Sapna Gautam</p> <p>Social Media Marketing - 561333731.811444<br /> <a href="http://www.widecircles.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.widecircles.com</a> </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/where-to-use-these-video-formats#post-3201 Tue, 02 Sep 2008 17:07:03 +0000 Anonymous 3201@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>I will also recoment FLV.</p> <p>Sapna Gautam</p> <p><a href="http://www.widecircles.com" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://www.widecircles.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.widecircles.com</a> </a> </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/where-to-use-these-video-formats#post-3200 Tue, 02 Sep 2008 16:58:21 +0000 Anonymous 3200@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>Hi , FLV is a nice compression technique . So , it is getting popular . Same content in FLV requires less memory .</p> <p>I guess that all video formats can do good job , provided that videos are recorded / created properly + They are played by a Good Player . </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/where-to-use-these-video-formats#post-3199 Tue, 02 Sep 2008 15:15:02 +0000 Anonymous 3199@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>Video formats are used to describe the size of the<br /> video and size of pixels used in video and method of video can be described in the formats.mpg is used by all and all platforms.</p> <p>-------------------------------------</p> <p><a href="http://www.laptopbatterydepot.com/" rel="nofollow"> laptop battery dell </a> </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/where-to-use-these-video-formats#post-2949 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 16:11:04 +0000 Anonymous 2949@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>1.
