The video file extension classification is as follows:<\/p>\n<p>AVI (Audio-Video Interleaved) is a very popular format, more precisely, a container. It was developed by Microsoft. This container can store four types of data: audio, video, text, and midi. It can include video of any format, from MPEG-1 to MPEG-4, sounds of various formats; the codec mix can be anything. The contents of the AVI container can be found using various programs, from a simple VideoToolBox to a powerful Adobe Premiere.<br \/>\nWMV (Windows Media Video) is another Microsoft format. If you create a movie in Movie Maker that comes with Windows, it will be in this format.<br \/>\nMOV. This format was invented by the Apple Macintosh. In addition to video data, it can contain graphics, animations, and 3D. The files of this format are played in QuickTime Player from Apple itself,<br \/>\nMKV (Matroska or &#8220;Matryoshka&#8221;) is another container that can hold both video and audio, as well as subtitles and the like. MKV is open source and has been used almost everywhere lately. Files in this format are playable on most players, including Windows Media Player, which is included with Windows.<br \/>\n3gp is a third generation video format for mobile phones. Movies recorded in this format have poor image quality. However, the small size eliminates this disadvantage. Also, 3gp video seems more or less visible on small phone screens.<br \/>\nVideo formats used on the Internet<br \/>\nVideos created on the Internet usually have one of the following formats:<\/p>\n<p>FLV (Flash Video) is a video format used by various video hosting sites like YouTube, RuTube, Google Video, and others.<br \/>\nAn animation or video in Flash format created in Adobe Flash has the extension SWF (Shockwave Flash). To play these files, you need a browser with Flash Player installed. Videos in this format are also ubiquitous on the Internet, where you can watch them directly from the site.<br \/>\nRealVideo is a format created by RealNetworks and used for television broadcasts on the Web. Movies recorded in this format have an RM, RA or RAM extension and are small in size and of poor quality.<br \/>\nFile extensions found on DVD<br \/>\nIf you look at the contents of the folder with the DVD movie, you will not immediately understand which file you need to run for the movie to start, because there are a lot of them there. But if you know how files of different extensions differ, this variety will be easier to navigate:<\/p>\n<p>VOB (Versioned Object Base) is an extension of the container, which then contains video (or several at the same time) in MPEG-2 format, audio, movie subtitles and menus. These are the main files on the movie DVD.<br \/>\nIFO files contain information about the movie, the order in which the VOB files are played, and the menus. That is, these are service files that are created in the process of burning a DVD movie.<br \/>\nAlso on DVD you can view video files with m2v and m2p extensions (MPEG-2 format). It makes no sense to delve into its features and functions, we can only say that they are necessary for creating VOB files and burning DVD movies.<br \/>\nOptical disc formats<br \/>\nWhile we&#8217;re talking about the files found on DVD, it&#8217;s worth talking a bit about the formats of optical digital drives:<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most popular of them is the DVD. It is he who is the reason why the VHS format has sunk into oblivion. DVD videos are compressed using the MPEG-2 standard, have a bit rate of 2000 to 9800 Kbps and a size of 720&#215;576 (for PAL) or 720&#215;480 (for NTSC).<br \/>\nHDDVD is a large capacity disc that can record high definition video. Video compression standards are the same as for Blu-Ray.<br \/>\nBlu-ray disc. Next-generation optical media with increased storage capacity for video information, including high definition. It became widespread in 2006 and in 2008 it replaced the HDDVD format. All Hollywood studios have switched to this format.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video Formats and Their Features Part 2 Video file extensions The video extension (like any other file) is a set of characters that help the Windows operating system to determine the type of information contained in the file, as well as to choose the appropriate program to open it.
