I'm fed up with people mixing up the concepts of codec and container format. I've seen that mistake so many times and not just from newbies. Whitepapers written by large companies (names intentionally omitted here) carry that confusion.
For example, VP6, VC-1 and H.264 are codecs.
MP4, MOV, AVI, ASF and FLV are examples of container formats.
I will gladly help anyone who needs a hand trying to use those terms correctly.
