Kontaineriformaatin

Kontaineriformaatti refers to a digital file format used for encapsulating various types of data within a single file. This format is distinct from a simple archive format as it also typically includes metadata and information about how the contained data should be interpreted or presented. Commonly, a kontaineriformaatti is designed to hold multiple streams of data, such as audio, video, text, and synchronization information, allowing for synchronized playback of different media components. The structure of a kontaineriformaatti defines how these different data streams are organized, indexed, and accessed. It does not, however, specify the encoding of the individual data streams themselves, which can be compressed using various codecs. Examples of widely used kontaineriformaatit include MP4, MKV, and AVI, each with its own specific characteristics and capabilities regarding supported codecs and features. The purpose of a kontaineriformaatti is to provide a standardized way to package multimedia content, facilitating storage, transmission, and playback across different devices and software.
