Format
Learn about the file formats for video, animation, and images that can be imported into Adobe Media Encoder.
Some filename extensions such as MOV, AVI, MXF, and FLV denote container file formats rather than representing specific audio, video, or image data formats. Container files can contain data encoded using various compression and encoding schemes. Adobe Media Encoder can import these container files, but the ability to import the data that they contain depends on which codecs (specifically, decoders) are installed.
By installing more codecs, you can extend the ability of Adobe Media Encoder to import extra file types. Many codecs must be installed into the operating system and work as a component inside the QuickTime or Video for Windows formats. Contact the manufacturer of your hardware or software for more information about codecs that work with the files that your specific devices or applications create.
As of September 15 2017, Adobe Creative Cloud apps now rely on your operating system (OS) to decode/encode Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus audio formats. Adobe no longer bundles the native libraries from Dolby with Creative Cloud products.
For information about how this change affects Dolby audio playback in your product, see Adobe Creative Cloud apps use native OS support for Dolby.
