[FFmpeg-user] Codecs and containers.

[Steve]

Hi Dave,

>FFmpeg can generate a Matroska file with FFV1 video. There isn't a custom
Matroska codec ID for FFV1 but the file ffmpeg makes uses:
>Codec ID: V_MS/VFW/FOURCC

Thanks for this.  

Do you think it's a good combination for a lossless, copyright-free,
cross-platform video?

What would you recommend?

Secondly, I thought ffv1 *was* the codec, am I missing something? What is
the difference between codec id and codec?

Thanks

Steve
