2.6. Demuxers

In a video stream, the video signal and the audio one are always into "containers" formats. Demuxers extract the streams from it and pass it to the decoders .

For example, an AVI file can contain a MPEG-4 video, or an uncompressed video. AVI is only a storing format, not a compression format .
