Meaning
A media container organizes encoded streams and associated metadata into a file or delivery structure.
A practical example
One file can carry a video stream, an audio stream and timing metadata without those streams using the same coding method.
What to check
A container format does not specify every compatible stream combination. Verify the actual tracks and target player's supported combinations.
