<div>A Fileformat is a specification on how to read/write a certain type of information into a file. There are many fileformats which all have their advantages. Some are easy to edit, some are easy to stream, some allow for possible future extensions, others are very simple and can't do much at all.<br />
<br />
In the world of audio/video/streaming there are several categories which are of importance.<br />

<div>This page is the starting point for the VideoLAN Knowledge Base. Its goal is to document as much information about codecs, fileformats, protocols etc. Although mainly consisting of technical information, it is intended to be easily understandible by all users. It is something like a dictionary or a encyclopedia on video/audio streaming/playing. <br />
<br />
We can then link to these definitions from our user documentation and stuff.<br />
