Format Description
MOV This is a QuickTime movie.
QT This is also a QuickTime movie, but it is only
used on Windows systems.
MPEG-1 This is the first standard of the Moving
Picture Experts Group for video and audio
compression, used for making video CDs.
Files of this container format can have the
extensions “.mpg” or “.mpeg”.
MPEG-4 This format is based on the QuickTime movie
standard, can contain various metadata
for streaming, editing, local playback, and
interchange of content. Its file extension is
“.mp4”.
AVI This format is a multimedia container format
introduced by Microsoft.
DV This is a video format used by camcorders.
Cubase supports all these container formats, but problems may arise when the computer
does not have the correct software to decode compressed video and audio streams within the
container file. You must also know the type of codec that was used to create the video file.
Codecs
Codecs are methods of data compression used to make video (and audio) files smaller and
more manageable for computers.
In order to play back a video file, your computer must have the correct codec installed in the
operating system to decode the video stream.
IMPORTANT
The names of codecs and container formats can be confusing. Because many container
formats have the same names as the codecs they use within the file, make sure to
differentiate the container format or file type, for example .mov or .dv, from the codec used
within it.
If you are not able to load a certain video file, the required codec is probably not installed
on your computer. In this case, you can search the internet (e.
g. the Microsoft or Apple web
sites) for video codecs.
