Class MediaContainerFormat

Represents a base class for media container file formats used in video processing.

Inheritance

MediaContainerFormat

Namespace: FulcrumFS.Videos

Assembly: FulcrumFS.Videos.dll

Syntax

public abstract class MediaContainerFormat

Remarks

Each MediaContainerFormat represents one specific container file format with a unique primary extension. While ffmpeg groups some formats together under the same demuxer (e.g., mov/mp4/m4a/3gp/3g2/mj2 share a single demuxer, and matroska/webm share another), this type distinguishes them strictly: content is verified against the expected file extension and a mismatch is treated as an error rather than silently reconciled.

Properties

Name	Description
AllResultFormats	Gets a list of all supported media container formats that have writing support (SupportsWriting).
AllSourceFormats	Gets a list of all supported media container formats for source files (with writable ones first).
Avi	Gets the AVI media container format. Extension: `.avi`.
Extensions	Gets the file extensions associated with this media container format (including the leading '.'). Most formats have a single extension; some have aliases (e.g., .mpeg and .mpg) that all refer to the same underlying format.
FileFormat	Gets the corresponding FileFormat used for content validation.
M2ts	Gets the MPEG-TS (192-byte packet, Blu-ray style) media container format. Extensions: `.m2ts` (primary), `.mts`.
M4A	Gets the MPEG-4 audio (M4A) media container format. Extension: `.m4a`.
MP4	Gets the MP4 media container format. Extension: `.mp4`. This is currently the only format that supports muxing (writing) output.
Mj2	Gets the Motion JPEG 2000 (MJ2) media container format. Extension: `.mj2`.
Mkv	Gets the Matroska (MKV) media container format. Extension: `.mkv`.
Mov	Gets the QuickTime/MOV media container format. Extension: `.mov`.
Mpeg	Gets the MPEG-PS media container format. Extensions: `.mpg` (primary), `.mpeg`.
Name	Gets the name of the container format as used in ffprobe output (format_name). Multiple MediaContainerFormat instances may share the same demuxer name when ffmpeg groups them under a single demuxer (e.g., all ISO BMFF formats share "mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2").
PrimaryExtension	Gets the primary file extension associated with this media container format (including the leading '.').
SupportsWriting	Gets a value indicating whether this container format supports being written to, i.e., whether we support muxing for it.
TS	Gets the MPEG-TS (188-byte packet) media container format. Extension: `.ts`.
Tg2	Gets the 3GPP2 (3G2) media container format. Extension: `.3g2`.
Tgp	Gets the 3GPP (3GP) media container format. Extension: `.3gp`.
WebM	Gets the WebM media container format. Extension: `.webm`.
