What is a codec? What is the difference between a codec and a container?
A codec is the order that's used to layout audio and video data in a way that can be played back and edited, or to change to other kinds of codecs. There are many different types, and they all have their own advantages. A container is what's used to hold audio and video data together in a single file- with some additional information as well. While there are codecs in a container, a container determines how compressed footage is shared and transmitted.
