View source for FourCC

'''Four Character Codes''', abbreviated as '''FourCC''' are 4 byte (32 bit) character sequences used as format identifiers in Microsoft's [[AVI]] (a.k.a. [[RIFF]]) container format. But it is also employed for the Video identifiers of other formats (because they also use 4 bytes) like Apple's QuickTime [[MOV]] container format. For MultimediaWiki's list of known video FourCCs see [[:Category:Video FourCCs|here]].<br>

'''Note!''' The audio counterpart to FourCC is called [[TwoCC]].
