Video Formats and Codecs


Article summary

Video Formats and Codecs

Overview

Video formats specify how to store digital video data, such as the maximum resolution, color depth, aspect ratio, and number of images per second. Codecs are programs that can encode and decode video files according to the rules specified by the format.

How codecs work

When you play a video, the player uses the codec to decompress the video file and display the frames on the screen. The codec also ensures that the video is played at the correct speed and that the audio is synchronized with the video.

Choosing the right video format and codec

When choosing a video format and codec, it is important to consider the following factors:

  • Compatibility: Choose a format and codec that is compatible with the devices and software that you will be using to play the video.

  • File size: If you need to reduce the file size of your video, choose a codec that compresses video well.

  • Video quality: If you need high-quality video, choose a codec that preserves video quality well.
