File extensions used for various multimedia file types - movies, films, videos, animations and other file types related to digital video software, video players and digital video editing
Video and multimedia files represent a huge group of file types that contain digitally capturing, recording, processing, storing, transmitting, and reconstructing a sequence of still images representing scenes in motion, often together with an audio track (sound, music, etc.), which in essence means that a "video file" is but a container for all the multimedia data used during the playback.
You can find hundreds of different video formats, but only some of them made a popular breakthrough and became standards in the industry (computers, multimedia equipment, cinemas, home theaters, portable players etc.).
AVI format still represent one of the most common video containers, although it is slowly surpassed by more modern formats. AVI is an abbreviation for Audio Video Interleave format and was originally developed by Microsoft based on Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF). Multimedia content can be compressed in a multitude of supported video or audio formats and some codecs may be even added to the container, but a few special exceptions. These include (DivX, XVID, MP3, AAC) codecs that must be installed in the operating system or supported by the used multimedia device (DVD player, portable player etc.).
MPG (MPEG), a video format developed by Moving Picture Experts Group. MPEG is an ISO standard used by many multimedia devices (DVD players, Blu-RAY, portable players, computers).
VOB, a DVD Video object file. A .vob file is a container file that contains most of the movie data, including the video and audio streams, along with subtitles and any other DVD menu features. DVD uses the MPEG-2 compression.
MP4, a MPEG-4 multimedia file format based on ISO standard as defined by the MPEG-4 specification. It contains MPEG-4 encoded video and advanced audio coding (AAC)-encoded audio content. It also frequently uses h.264 or lately h.265 encoded videos. Nowadays it is perhaps one of the most commonly used multimedia format.
M2TS, a Blu-Ray MPEG-2 stream. The M2TS container format is based on the standard MPEG-2. Blu-ray are using transport streams, instead of DVD's program streams, to store video, audio, and other data. Used for high definition multimedia content.
