See also: MPEG-2 § Container formats (TS and PS)
This lists containers, also known as media file formats.
Containers are Files that can contain audio and/or video. The audio and video is encoded (compressed) using codecs, and then stored in a container. Codecs can normally be used in a variety of different containers.
You can usually tell what container format is used for a file by looking at the file's extension. For example, if a file has a .mp4 extension, it is likely to contain MPEG-4 video.
Below are listed the formats you can play with vlc (if I've missed any, feel free to add it :-)
