'''[[container]]s'''.

{{See also|MPEG-2#Container_formats|l1=MPEG-2 § Container formats (TS and PS)}}
 +
{{wikipedia|Comparison of container formats}}
 +
This lists '''[[container]]s''', 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 :-)

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 :-)
