Preview of Container: 3GP — Actual file preview for Container: 3GP

One H.264 elementary stream wrapped in 3GP. Every file in this group was produced from the SAME encode with a stream copy, so the compressed video bytes are identical and the container is genuinely the only difference. The mobile profile of MP4, from the feature-phone era. Still emitted by some Android capture paths, so it turns up in user uploads.

Container: AVI

One H.264 elementary stream wrapped in AVI. Every file in this group was produced from the SAME encode with a stream copy, so the compressed video bytes are identical and the container is genuinely the only difference. Microsoft's 1992 container. No B-frame timestamp support and a 4 GB practical limit, but enormous amounts of archived material still live in it.

Container: M4V

One H.264 elementary stream wrapped in M4V. Every file in this group was produced from the SAME encode with a stream copy, so the compressed video bytes are identical and the container is genuinely the only difference. MP4 under Apple's alternative extension. Byte-identical structure; the extension exists purely so iTunes could distinguish video, and it is a good test of extension-driven format detection.

Container: Matroska

One H.264 elementary stream wrapped in Matroska. Every file in this group was produced from the SAME encode with a stream copy, so the compressed video bytes are identical and the container is genuinely the only difference. The most permissive container in common use: any codec, unlimited tracks, chapters, attachments. Not natively playable in Safari, which is its main practical limitation.

Container: MP4 (ISO BMFF)

One H.264 elementary stream wrapped in MP4 (ISO BMFF). Every file in this group was produced from the SAME encode with a stream copy, so the compressed video bytes are identical and the container is genuinely the only difference. The ISO base media format, and the default for web delivery. Supports faststart, which moves the index to the front so playback can begin before the file has finished downloading.

Container: MPEG Transport Stream

One H.264 elementary stream wrapped in MPEG Transport Stream. Every file in this group was produced from the SAME encode with a stream copy, so the compressed video bytes are identical and the container is genuinely the only difference. The broadcast and HLS-segment container. Fixed 188-byte packets and no global index, so it can be cut at any packet boundary and still decode, which is exactly why streaming uses it.

Container: QuickTime

One H.264 elementary stream wrapped in QuickTime. Every file in this group was produced from the SAME encode with a stream copy, so the compressed video bytes are identical and the container is genuinely the only difference. Apple's container, and the direct ancestor of MP4: the two share the same atom structure, which is why remuxing between them is nearly free.

Context Diff - Classic *** / --- Format

The same change as the unified twin, emitted in the pre-unified context format: `*** before` and `--- after` blocks separated by a row of asterisks, with `!`, `+` and `-` change markers. Parsers that assume every diff starts with `---`/`+++` misread this one as a unified diff with no hunks.
