About the Formats
AVI AVI is used for a variety of applications ranging from CD-ROM
video to video editing and archiving. It is really a file type, versus a
compression type. AVI files can contain many types of compressed
video data depending on the codecs installed on the system. Any
available DirectShow codec on the system can be used as the
compressor.
AVI (DV) DV AVIs are usually used by DV video editing software.
MPEG MPEG is commonly used as a delivery and distribution format
because it provides small files sizes. VideoCD, Super VideoCD
and DVD all use MPEG compression. Both MPEG-1 and MPEG-2
streams can be created.
QuickTime QuickTime is also more of a file type versus a format. QuickTime
files can contain many types of data depending on the codecs
available on the system.
WindowsMedia Windows Media files are often used for web video and more
recently, high definition video.
RealMedia RealMedia files are normally used for streaming video.
Raw DV Raw DV files are used by some DV video editing systems.
