  File format - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Other file formats, however, are designed for storage of several different types of data: the GIF format supports storage of both still images and simple animations, and the AVI format can act as a container for many different types of multimedia.
Many file formats, including some of the most well-known file formats, have a published specification document (often with a reference implementation) that describes exactly how the data is to be encoded, and which can be used to determine whether or not a particular program treats a particular file format correctly.
Since files are seen by programs as streams of data, a method is required to determine the format of a particular file within the filesystem — an example of metadata.

 Video - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Video (from Latin, "I see") is the technology of processing electronic signals for representing moving pictures.
Video can be created with mechanical cameras (capture on celluloid film), video cameras (capture electric signal in PAL or NTSC formats) or digital cameras (commonly capture in digital MPEG-4 or DV formats).
In the UK, the term video is often used informally to refer to both video recorders and video cassettes; the meaning is normally clear from the context.

 Container format - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A container format is a computer file format that can contain various types of data, compressed in a manner of standardized codecs.
The container file is used to be able to identify and interleave the different data types.
Older formats such as AVI do not support new codec features like B-frames, VBR audio, VFR natively, although the format may be "hacked" to add support, creating compatibility problems.

 Video File Format Comparison
When dealing with video files there are several factors that need to be considered, like bit depth, frame size and frame rate as well as compression and codecs used.
Where file size or data rate are more important than the quality of motion, such as for Internet delivery, specifying a lower frame rate may help compression by reducing the amount of data to compress.
This is a general purpose format for exchanging multimedia data types that was defined by Microsoft and IBM during their long forgotten alliance.

A file format is simply a specified way of arranging a given type of information into bytes.
