Mediakontaineriin

Mediakontaineriin is a Swedish term that translates to "media container" in English. It refers to a digital file format designed to hold multiple streams of audio, video, and metadata. These containers do not themselves perform any compression or encoding of the data they contain; rather, they simply organize and package existing encoded streams. Common examples of media containers include MP4, MKV, AVI, and MOV. The choice of container format can affect compatibility with different devices and software, as well as the types of features that can be supported, such as subtitles or multiple audio tracks. The underlying audio and video data within the container are encoded using specific codecs, such as H.264 for video or AAC for audio. Therefore, a media container is essentially a wrapper that allows for the efficient storage and playback of multimedia content. Different container formats have been developed over time to meet evolving technological needs and standards.
