Video And Audio Codecs

Here at the MultimediaWiki we catalog as many technical details as we can about video and audio codecs. This goes for current codecs such as VC-1 as well as classic codecs like Cinepak that still enjoy widespread use. See the following categories for comprensive lists: Video Codecs, Video FourCCs, Audio Codecs, and Audio FourCCs.

Container, Text, And Networking Formats

There is more to multimedia technology than just the audio and video codecs. Container formats are responsible for organizing the data on disk, and network protocols are in charge of sending the data over the internet. There is a plethora of subtitle formats. And do not discount the array of game-related formats that play no small part in this field.
