FourCC (Four Character Code, 4CC) is identifier of length of four bytes used to identify type ofdata format (e.g.videocodec used inAVImultimedia container).
The same video format can be (in dependency to used codec) denoted by several different FourCC codes. Even there is no exception to the rule to use more FourCC codes for that format by same codec. For example, some differentDivX codec versions denoteMPEG-4 ASP format byDIVX andDX50 codes. Therefore, selection of this code depends on used codec and thus on used multimedia framework.
