As with text documents, photographs or audios, digital video is available in different formats or extensions.<\/p>\n

In this sense, today we find DVD and Blu-Ray, although some of us still keep in an old VHS closet and maybe some Betacam.<\/p>\n

But a second meaning or meaning of video formats refers to their encoding, since in digital video, as with a computer program, any file is written in a certain code.<\/p>\n

In videos, the code influences image quality, sound quality, whether or not it includes subtitles and, especially, the relationship between quality and file size.<\/p>\n

Thus, today we consume digital audiovisual content through physical discs (DVD, Blu-Ray), through streaming and through IPTV (Internet television), but we also handle digital video files, especially for content that we generate ourselves.<\/p>\n

Next we will review the most common digital video formats that we can find, what is their origin and what benefits they offer. I apologize in advance for the gibberish of acronyms.<\/p>\n
