Some facts#

  • FourCC is a 4-byte code that identifies the data format stored in the file.
  • Initially, FourCC codes were created for the needs of Mac OS. Later they were adapted to other hardware platforms and operating systems.
  • One of the most popular uses of FourCC codes is an identification of audio codec or video codec in multimedia files, that are general purpose containers (e.g. AVI or WAV on Windows).
  • Formally a FourCC code corresponds to one 32-bit number, which corresponds to 4 bytes. Most often, however, FourCC codes are presented as 4-character text in the ASCII format e.g. VP80 corresponds to the video codec VP8, DIV3 corresponds to Div-X version 3 codec, H263 corresponds to H.263 codec etc.
