In video terminology, container format is a type of
file format that contains various types of data
compressed by standardized codecs. Container formats
are essentially wrappers in that they don't specify
what codec the container format uses, but rather it defines how the video, audio
and other data is stored within the container. Examples
of container formats include IFF, WAV,
AVI, Ogg and 3GP.
