Dealing with multimedia

[CMCDragonkai]

How does multicodec deal with multimedia?

Consider mp4 files or mts files. They are container formats. Within each there are choices of audio and video codecs that can be used.

It seems multicodec simply identifying the container format is not powerful enough to describe such files with composite codecs.

The container format internally records the chosen codecs. Multicodec is enough to remove the initial ambiguity and let us decode the container.

Has anybody started recording all the multimedia formats into multicodec?
