Comparison of video container formats

March 03, 2023

These tables compare features of multimedia container formats, most often used for storing or streaming digital video or digital audio content. To see which multimedia players support which container format, look at comparison of media players.

General information

Containers related by derivation

In many ways, derived containers are similar to those on which they are based, sometimes extending them, sometimes limiting their capabilities.

  1. ^ Indicates if the container can be used for a container bitstream, for example, for use as an RTP payload format. Some technologies, such as WebRTC, do not use any container formats for streaming. Some use fragmented MP4 (fMP4) or MPEG-TS segment files, such as HLS and MPEG-DASH.[2]
  2. ^ Tags.
  3. ^ Container format level.
  4. ^ Also .mka for content that is primarily audio or .mks for subtitles only.[4]
  5. ^ Although CoreCodec, Inc. holds the copyrights and trademarks for the Matroska specification, the specifications are open to everybody. The source code of the libraries developed by the Matroska team is licensed under the LGPL and BSD licenses.
  6. ^ Anyone can use it or modify it for their own needs without paying any license or patents.[5][6]
  7. ^ a b Matroska is designed to store VBR and VFR content.[7]
  8. ^ Companies producing Matroska-supporting hardware include Asus,[8] OPPO Digital,[9] Samsung,[10] and LG[11]
  9. ^ Matroska can be streamed over HTTP and RTP/RTSP, through it is not meant to be streamed over RTP, as the two have duplicate features.[12]
  10. ^ Also .m4a, .m4b or .m4p for audio-only content.
  11. ^ There are two popular representations: text track (QuickTime), and userdata atom (Nero).[18][19]
  12. ^ Also .wma for audio-only content.
  13. ^ License required from manufacturers or developers of codecs, but no license fees for the distribution of content.[21]
  14. ^ ACM cannot handle VBR audio streams in AVI files. Thus, software using ACM to read audio from AVI files will not be able to handle VBR audio streams correctly, even though such files are compliant to the AVI file specification. This is a limitation of the ACM, not of the AVI file format.
  15. ^ Although AVI is not designed for variable framerates, it is possible to use them without creating a non-standard file by using 0-byte chunks for skipped frames. However, it requires the framerate to be set to the least common multiple of all framerates used, and produces slight overhead compared to true VFR.
  16. ^ a b The following extensions are also often used for an MPEG program or a transport stream: .mpg, .mpeg, .mpv, .m1v; also .mpa, .mp3, .mp2, .mp1, .m2a or .m1a for audio-only content.
  17. ^ MPEG-2 Part 1 specification,[27] p. 64, sec. 2.6.3.
  18. ^ Also .tsa for audio-only content.
  19. ^ Blu-ray adopts a specific file structure. Simple title metadata are stored in the /BMDV/index.bdmv file.
  20. ^ Blu-ray adopts a specific file structure. Chapters require a companion .mpls file in the /BDMV/PLAYLIST/ directory.
  21. ^ Blu-ray 3D adopts a specific file structure to encode stereoscopic video. MVC stereoscopic data is in .ssif files in the /BDMV/STREAM/SSIF/ directory and require a respective base .m2ts file.
  22. ^ a b VOB adopts a specific file structure to encode DVD content. Chapters and menus require a companion .ifo file.
  23. ^ EVO adopts a specific file structure to encode HD DVD content. Chapters require companion .xpl file.[30]
  24. ^ Also .f4a, .f4b and .f4p for audio-only content.
  25. ^ Adobe Flash Video File Format Specification,[34] p. 1. SWF File Format Specification,[35] p. 188.
  26. ^ Also .oga, .ogg or .opus for audio-only content.[36][37]
  27. ^ Chapters stored as Vorbis comments[41] are well supported by common tools such as FFmpeg and VLC.
  28. ^ Some stereo modes are supported.[43]

Attachments (additional files, such as fonts for subtitles) are only supported in Matroska,[16] MP4 and QTFF. M2TS supports attachments as multiple files in a specific file structure: fonts for subtitles are in .otf files in the /BDMV/AUXDATA/ directory.

Some common multimedia file formats are not completely distinct container formats. Some are containers for specific audio and video coding formats, such as WebM, a subset of Matroska. Some are combinations of common container formats and audio and video coding profiles, such as AVCHD and DivX formats. Although sometimes compared to DivX products, Xvid is neither a container format nor a video format, it is a software library that encodes video using specific coding profiles of the common MPEG-4 ASP video format. Those types of restrictions are intended to simplify the construction of multimedia recorders and players.

  1. ^ AVI is not designed to embed subtitles, requiring changes to the format and third party tools such as DirectVobSub[105] and VLC.
  2. ^ SMPTE standardized the format for text subtitles in MXF[106][107][108] without a reference software implementation, leaving it to independent developers.[109]
  3. ^ SubRip can be converted losslessly to and from native subtitle formats of several containers, and this conversion is supported by many common tools.
  4. ^ Requires tools that are not officially related to the container format.[109]
  5. ^ Loading subtitles with ActionScript[114] may be restricted to the official Adobe Flash Player.
  6. ^ TTXT is often called MPEG-4 Timed Text (MP4TT, MP4-TT) or 3GPP Timed Text (3GPP-TT, tx3g).
  7. ^ MPEG-4 Timed Text subtitles aren't supported in Matroska according to developer of MKVToolNix.[116]
  8. ^ a b c d VobSub, PGS, DVB-SUB and Ogg Kate are well supported by common tools such as MKVToolNix and VLC. The storage format is specified,[53] but the specification is not officially approved yet.
  9. ^ a b c Requires tools that are not officially related to the container format.[117]
  10. ^ a b HDMV PGS and TextST subtitles are used on HD DVD and Blu-ray.
  11. ^ Needs alterations to the container.[121][122]

Some containers only support a restricted set of subtitle formats:

  • DMF only supports XSUB.
  • EVO only supports HD DVD PGS.
  • Ogg only supports Ogg Kate and CMML.[e] SubRip can be converted losslessly to Ogg Kate.[124] Ogg Writ[125] is well supported in Ogg in common tools such as OGMtools[102] and VLC, but there's no intention to turn its draft into a fully supported specification. Xiph recommends using Kate for subtitles.[126] MicroDVD can be converted to Ogg Writ.
  • RMVB only supports RealText. SMIL can be partially converted to RealText.
  • WebM only supports WebVTT.[43] SubRip can be converted losslessly to WebVTT.

Converting image subtitles to text formats is possible using third-party tools[127] but relies on optical character recognition, which is not perfectly accurate and can at best extract basic formatting. Conversion of text to images is possible while preserving content and style. Round-trip format conversion between text formats may not be possible without losing some formatting features.

Overhead

Multimedia containers interleave data in media streams to enable efficient playback using fewer computational resources, such as time spent reading from the storage drive, memory needed to buffer selected media streams, and time spent decoding when seeking to a different position in time. In this sense, muxing overhead is the control information added by the container to carry interleaved streams. A smaller overhead results in a smaller file when carrying the same streams with the same data. Overhead is affected by the total number of packets and by the size of stream packet headers. In high bitrate encodings, the content payload is usually large enough to make the overhead data relatively insignificant, but in low bitrate encodings, the inefficiency of the overhead can significantly affect the resulting file size if the container uses large stream packet headers or a large number of packets.

In general, Matroska[128] requires the least overhead, followed by MP4, AVI and Ogg.[129]

files are compliant to the AVI file specification This is a limitation of the ACM not of the AVI file format Although AVI is not designed for variable framerates it is possible to use them without creating a non standard file by using 0 byte chunks for skipped frames However it requires the framerate to be set to the least common multiple of all framerates used and produces slight overhead

is possible using third party tools 127 but relies on optical character recognition which is not perfectly accurate and can at best extract basic formatting Conversion of text to images is possible while preserving content and style Round trip format conversion between text formats may not be possible without losing some formatting features Overhead EditMultimedia containers interleave data in media streams to enable efficient playback using fewer computational resources such as time spent reading from the storage drive memory needed to buffer selected media streams and time spent decoding when seeking to a different position in time In this sense muxing overhead is the control information added by the container to carry interleaved streams A smaller overhead results in a smaller file when carrying the same streams with the same data Overhead is affected by the total number of packets and by the size of stream packet headers In high bitrate encodings the content payload is usually large enough to make the overhead data relatively insignificant but in low bitrate encodings the inefficiency of the overhead can significantly affect the resulting file size if the container uses large stream packet headers or a large number of packets In general Matroska 128 requires the least overhead followed by MP4 AVI and Ogg 129 See also Edit Free and open source software portalList of
