A continuación, vamos a ver un listado de todos los códecs de vídeo indentificados según la nomenclatura FourCC.
El FourCC (four character code o código de cuatro caracteres) es un indicador para identificar qué estándar y normas sigue la codificación del flujo de datos en los que está codificado un vídeo.
Sin embargo, un FourCC no es siempre “el códec” de por sí. Por ejemplo, puede haber vídeos codificados siguiendo la H.264, pero pueden estar codificados con el códec x264. Es ese caso, podría estar indentificado por las letras FourCC: “H264” o “X264”.
Vamos, que el FourCC puede ser el estándar o el propio códec, depende de la situación.
