Formats related to video and multimedia.
Introduction
- For an excellent introduction to the issues around audio and video formats, see A Primer on Codecs for Moving Image and Sound Archives - and 10 Recommendations for Codec Selection & Management PDF version
- Basics of streaming protocols
Pure video formats
These formats are "monolithic" video formats, meaning that the file format and the encoding of the video data are tied to each other.
See also Graphics#Animated image formats, and the #Video application formats section below.
- Ace Film
- Bink Video (BIK)
- CDXL
- CFAST Disney Animation Studio
- The Complete Animator Film
- Cyber Paint Sequence

- PPM (Flipnote)
- PSMF
- SGI movie
- Smacker/SMK (created by RadGameTools; mostly used in games)
- VDEO
- WTV
Video container formats
These formats are only containers for video, which can contain videos in many different encodings (or even other data like audio).
See also the #Video application formats section below, for some higher-level container-like formats.
- Advanced Recording Format
- ASF
- Camtasia Recording File
- EBML
- FLV
- ISO Base Media File Format
- MPEG Program Stream (.mpg)
- MPEG Transport Stream

- RIFF
- Webex Recording Format
- WOT
Single-stream container formats
- MPEG Elementary Stream
- Packetized Elementary Stream (packet format within MPEG streams)
Video stream formats
A.k.a. codecs, these formats are raw bitstream formats commonly contained in one of the above containers (though some can be used on their own, in one way or another).
- 3ivx (this is just a fourcc for an MPEG-4 variant)
- Apple Intermediate Codec
- AV1
- Cineform

- Thor
- VC-1
- VC-3
- VP8
- VP9
- VVC
- XviD (MPEG-4 variant)
