{# canonical_base is the OWNING tenant's origin: all 16 Peasy domains serve the same catalogue, so a page rendered by a non-owner points its canonical at the owner instead of competing with it. Falls back to this site for static/self-owned pages. #}

About Codec Reference

Compare video codecs — H.264, H.265, VP9, AV1, ProRes, DNxHR — with quality, file size, browser support, and hardware decoding details.

How It Works

Browse and compare codecs with compression efficiency, container support, browser compatibility, and recommended use cases.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which codec should I use?
H.264 for compatibility, H.265 for smaller files, VP9 for web/YouTube, AV1 for best quality-to-size ratio.
Codec vs container?
A codec (H.264) compresses the data. A container (MP4, MKV) wraps video, audio, and metadata together.
