    WebM and MKV are container formats.

    AV1 is the codec, and can be contained within either WebM or MKV.

      WebM and MKV are container formats.

      No, WebM is a specification that defines a subset of the Matroska container, VP9 or AV1 video codec, and Vorbis or Opus audio codecs.

          No, Matroska is a container.

          If you reference webmproject.org, at least reference the correct page: https://www.webmproject.org/about/

          WebM defines the file container structure, video and audio formats. WebM files consist of video streams compressed with the VP8 or VP9 video codecs and audio streams compressed with the Vorbis or Opus audio codecs.

          The WebM file structure is based on the Matroska container.

            WebM is a digital multimedia container file format promoted by the open-source WebM Project. It comprises a subset of the Matroska multimedia container format.

              It comprises a subset of the Matroska multimedia container format.

              I wrote from the beginning that WebM includes a specification of a subset of Matroska it uses but that the WebM specifications also include which audio and video formats it uses. https://www.webmproject.org/about/ 100% confirms what I wrote.

              You should just accept it and move on. I’m certainly moving on because discussing with someone over WebM who doesn’t even accept the contents of https://www.webmproject.org/about/ is pointless.

Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don’t be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don’t be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don’t post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don’t post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you’re concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don’t accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you’ve gotten yours.
