:No – certainly not. Please look at the list of examples ("MPEG-2 Part 2, MPEG-4 Part 2, H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10), HEVC, Theora, Dirac, RealVideo RV40, VP8, and VP9"). None of those are container formats. You seem to have some misunderstanding of the topic. —[[User:Mulligatawny|Mulligatawny]] ([[User talk:Mulligatawny|talk]]) 00:00, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
:Clearly this article has to exist for people just like you, who have no idea what the clearly defined concept "Video compression format" is :) . You should really try reading it, some time. [[User:Thue|Thue]] ([[User talk:Thue|talk]]) 00:03, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
== Overcoverage of WebM ==
<blockquote>
Another example is the initial specification for the file type WebM, which specified the container format (Matroska), but also exactly which video (VP8) and audio (Vorbis) compression format is used inside the Matroska container, even though the Matroska container format itself is capable of containing other video coding formats (VP9 video and Opus audio support was later added to the WebM specification).
</blockquote>
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.
