*WebM was used as an example of a container format. First, WebM is a full file type (file format) which sets an audio, video and a container format as parts of its specification. The container format used in a WebM file is Matroska. So I think WebM is higher-level than a container format (a container format, namely Matroska, is its subset). I changed the wording to "file format", but then, it makes the example pointless and confusing. So I would suggest changing the example to a real (pure) container format like Matroska, AVI, ASF, MP4 or Ogg.—[[User:J. M.|J. M.]] ([[User talk:J. M.|talk]]) 00:02, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
**Good points. I changed the x264 to Xvid. I have also rewritten the second part. Thanks for the very helpful suggestions :). [[User:Thue|Thue]] | [[User talk:Thue|talk]] 13:22, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

This strikes me as to heavy and specific for the lead—unless we introduce it with language such as "a video coding file format may be more specific than the container format it designates ..." — [[user:MaxEnt|MaxEnt]] 18:57, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
== Wrong link in History section ==
In first paragraph of history section there is the following sentence:
"The concept of [[digital video]] compression dates back to 1952, when [[Bell Labs]] researchers B.M. Oliver and [[Chris Harrison (American football)|C.W. Harrison]] proposed "
Not only C.W. Harrison links to an american football player with no mention of any computer science activity, but also the link code explicitly says "Chris Harrison (American football)".
There is a computer science person on Wikipedia named Chris Harrison: [[Chris Harrison (computer scientist)]], but I doubt the paragraphs tells about them - they were born after 1952.
The verification link for the paragraph: https://www.itu.int/wftp3/av-arch/jvt-site/2002_07_Klagenfurt/JVT-D068.doc
and the document points to an article by the said C.W.Harrison: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/j.1538-7305.1952.tb01405.x
Brief googling didn't uncover much about this person, and the paper seems to be their only known appearance in the press.
Overall, either the link should be removed, a proper article for the C.W. Harrison from bell labs written, or, if the mentioned football player is really the scientist here, the appropriate mention should be added to the article about the player.
