Talk:Video file format

Merge discussion
The section "List of video file formats" is mostly a subset of the Comparison of video container formats. It contains very similar columns - name, file extension, video coding formats, audio coding formats, notes about the license, etc. This section should not duplicate the existing article.

If there are some video container file formats not mentioned in Comparison of video container formats, they should be added in that article.

If there are some bitstream formats or elementary stream formats, which can be called a "file format", they could be listed here, but in a different structure. 188.167.156.191 (talk) 18:35, 16 December 2016 (UTC)


 * No - they are lists of different things. For example, this article has an entry for WEBM, which it should have because it is a video file format. The Comparison of video container formats list doesn't have an entry for WEBM, which it shouldn't have because WEBM is not a container format. They are lists of different things, so merging makes no sense.
 * There may be some facts that exists in both articles, but that is not a problem. All articles should contain facts relevant to their topic, and a fact existing in an more-or-less unrelated article is not a reason to omit that fact! Thue (talk) 12:22, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
