Internet applications may reference specific codecs within the
and AVI registries as follows
* video/vnd.avi; codec=XXX identifies a specific video codec (i.e.,
XXX) within the AVI Registry
* audio/vnd.wave; codec=YYY identifies a specific audio
(i.e., YYY) within the WAVE Registry

Appendix A and Appendix B provides an authoritative reference for
interpretation of the required "codec" parameter. That is,
current set of audio codecs that are registered within the
Registry are enumerated in Appendix A. Appendix B enumerates
current set of video codecs that have been registered to date
the AVI Registry

Internet-oriented multimedia applications reference
content via predefined mechanisms (e.g., [2]). In the general case
this content was created primarily for the use of these Internet
oriented applications. Unfortunately, this Internet-
multimedia content represents a small minority of the total amount
multimedia content that has been created to date

For this reason, a growing interest is forming in
mechanisms by which the repertoire of multimedia content available
Internet-oriented applications(e.g., for RTSP [3]) may be
extended to include multimedia content that has been created
of distinctly Internet contexts. For this to occur, a mechanism

Fleischman Informational [Page 1]

RFC 2361 WAVE and AVI Codec Registries June 1998

be created for Internet protocols (e.g., [1], [3], [4]) to be able
identify the codecs by which this so-called "traditional"
content has been encoded

Unfortunately, several distinct encoding systems exist
traditional multimedia content. Each system has its own registry
ensure unique and stable codec identifications within that system
Perhaps the best known of these registries are Microsoft (for
and AVI content) and Apple (for QuickTime content).

The purpose of this paper is to establish a mechanism by which
registered within Microsoft's WAVE and AVI Registries may
referenced within the IANA Namespace by Internet applications

2 References to Registries within the IANA Vendor

Reference [7] specifies that the IANA Namespace encompasses
trees. Discussions within the IETF-Types mailing list concluded
the most appropriate tree in which to reference codecs, which
already been registered by non-IANA Registries, is the Vendor Tree

As a result, the non-IANA registry is identified within the
Vendor tree by vnd.RegistryName. A specific codec, which has
registered within that registry, is identified by a required
parameter as specified by Section 2.2.3 of [7].

3 WAVE and AVI

Both the WAVE and AVI Registries are historic databases that
been maintained by Microsoft as a free service. The Registries
to assist developers of WAVE and AVI content and to standardize
and AVI content
1) avoiding conflict and/or duplication with current definitions,
2) providing the registered information in a standard document
format that is publicly available
The historic nature of these databases implies that unless
original registrants informed the registrar of a change of
(e.g., company acquired, new contact, new location, new phone),
contact information has generally not been updated from
originally registered values

Audio codecs within the WAVE Registry are identified by WAVE
IDs. The (audio) WAVE Format ID is officially known as "WAVE
Registration Number". The WAVE Format ID is a hexadecimal
value. These codecs may be referenced within the IANA namespace

Fleischman Informational [Page 2]

RFC 2361 WAVE and AVI Codec Registries June 1998

"audio/vnd.wave; codec=XXX", where XXX represents a valid WAVE
ID (e.g., the WAVE Format ID of "123" is referenced within the
namespace by "audio/vnd.wave; codec=123").

Video codecs within the AVI Registry are identified by AVI Codec IDs
The AVI Codec ID value is a FourCC encoding. A FourCC is 32-bits
and represents a (case-sensitive) four-character (i.e., ASCII)
value. These codecs may be referenced within the IANA namespace
"video/vnd.avi; codec=XXX", where XXX represents a valid AVI Codec
(e.g., the WAVE Format ID of "SCRN" is referenced within the
namespace by "video/vnd.avi; codec=SCRN").

Appendix A is an authoritative list of the complete set of
codecs that have been registered (as of January 1998) within the
Registry. Appendix B is an authoritative list of the complete set
video codecs that have been registered (as of January 1998)
the AVI registry

4 Mapping Codec IDs to GUID

Direct mappings exist between WAVE Format IDs and GUIDs and
FourCC codec values and GUIDs [5]. [Note: GUIDs are Globally
Identifiers that are also known as Universally Unique
(UUIDs). UUIDs have been standardized within the Open
Foundation's (OSF) Distributed Computing Environment (DCE).]
mappings enable GUID-oriented software to directly refer to
historic codec values. For example, the Advanced Streaming
(ASF) [6] uses GUID values to refer to codecs, and the
mechanism is used to convert the historic WAVE and AVI codec
into the appropriate GUID value for use within ASF

WAVE Format IDs are converted to GUIDs by inserting the
value of the WAVE Format ID into the XXXXXXXX part of the
template: {XXXXXXXX-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71}. For example, a
Format ID of 123 has the GUID value of {00000123-0000-0010-8000-
00AA00389B71}.

FourCC values are converted to GUIDs by inserting the FourCC
into the XXXXXXXX part of the same template: {XXXXXXXX-0000-0010-
8000-00AA00389B71}. For example, a conversion of the FourCC value
"H260" would result in the GUID value of {30363248-0000-0010-8000-
00AA00389B71}. [Note: the 32-bit FourCC value of "H260" is
into hexadecimal 32-bit value (i.e., 30363248) because the
XXXXXXXX of the GUID is defined as a DWORD and thus takes a 32-
hexadecimal value. Endian considerations account for the
re-ordering of the original ASCII text.]
