mp3 -> mp3 h26x -> h26x (including "h263+" if you really want to differentiate) Vorbis -> vorbis Snow -> snow mpegX -> mpegX (mpeg1/mpeg2)
General rule: take the Codec name or standard definition that fits the least number of chars and turn it lowercase (eg: "ISO14496-2;MPEG-4;XviD;XVID;xvid;DX50;DIVX;FM40;h263" -> h263)
mpeg4 != h263
In case of collision due features not always implemented the fallback will be either a specific standard name (eg h263 vs h263+) or a common fourcc (last chance).
Does it looks too naive?
Seems sensible. The problem is only with codecs that don't have an official name, like some of Mike's game stuff. -- Måns Rullgård mru@inprovide.com
