RFC 2361
WAVE and AVI Codec Registries
WAVE and AVI Codec Registries 🎀
okay bestie, this one's an Informational RFC from the Network Working Group, written by Eric Fleischman of Microsoft Corporation, dated June 1998 💅 it's RFC number 2361. It doesn't say it obsoletes or updates any other RFC, so no drama there ✨

Abstract 🦋
so Internet apps can point at specific codecs in the WAVE and AVI registries like this:
video/vnd.avi; codec=XXXidentifies a specific video codec (i.e.,XXX) inside the AVI Registry 🎞️audio/vnd.wave; codec=YYYidentifies a specific audio codec (i.e.,YYY) inside the WAVE Registry 🎶
Appendix A and Appendix B are the authoritative reference for what that required "codec" parameter means. Appendix A lists the audio codecs currently registered in the WAVE Registry, and Appendix B lists the video codecs registered so far in the AVI Registry 👑
1 Introduction 🍓
Internet multimedia apps usually pull in content through predefined mechanisms (e.g., [2]). Most of the time that content was made specifically for those Internet apps. The sad part is that this Internet-friendly content is only a tiny slice of all the multimedia that's been created so far 😭
So people are getting really interested in ways to make the content library for Internet apps (for example, RTSP [3]) way bigger, by including multimedia made outside of Internet contexts. To make that happen, Internet protocols (e.g., [1], [3], [4]) need a way to identify the codecs that encoded this so-called "traditional" multimedia content 🔥
The catch is that there are several separate encoding systems for traditional multimedia. Each one has its own registry so its codec IDs stay unique and stable. The most well-known registries are Microsoft's (for WAVE and AVI content) and Apple's (for QuickTime content) 🍎
This document sets up a way for Internet applications to reference codecs registered in Microsoft's WAVE and AVI Registries from within the IANA Namespace 💜
2 References to Registries within the IANA Vendor Tree 🎀
Reference [7] says the IANA Namespace is made up of several trees. People on the IETF-Types mailing list agreed that the best tree to reference codecs that were already registered by non-IANA registries is the Vendor Tree 🌸
So a non-IANA registry gets identified in the IANA Vendor tree as vnd.RegistryName. A specific codec registered in that registry is then picked out with a required codec parameter, as described in Section 2.2.3 of [7] ✨
3 WAVE and AVI Registries 💅
Both the WAVE and AVI Registries are historic databases that Microsoft kept running as a free service. Their goal was to help developers of WAVE and AVI content, and to standardize that content by:
- avoiding conflict and/or duplication with current definitions, and
- providing the registered information in a standard document and format that is publicly available.
Because these databases are historic, the contact info usually hasn't been updated from the original values, unless the original registrants told the registrar about a change of status (e.g., company acquired, new contact, new location, new phone) 📞
Audio codecs in the WAVE Registry are identified by WAVE Format IDs. The (audio) WAVE Format ID is officially called "WAVE form Registration Number". It's a hexadecimal integer value. These codecs can be referenced in the IANA namespace as audio/vnd.wave; codec=XXX, where XXX is a valid WAVE Format ID. For example, the WAVE Format ID "123" is referenced in the IANA namespace as audio/vnd.wave; codec=123 🎶
Video codecs in the AVI Registry are identified by AVI Codec IDs. An AVI Codec ID is a FourCC encoding. A FourCC is 32 bits long and represents a (case-sensitive) four-character (i.e., ASCII) code value. These codecs can be referenced in the IANA namespace as video/vnd.avi; codec=XXX, where XXX is a valid AVI Codec ID. For example, the WAVE Format ID "SCRN" is referenced in the IANA namespace as video/vnd.avi; codec=SCRN 🎞️
Appendix A is the complete, authoritative list of audio codecs registered in the WAVE Registry as of January 1998. Appendix B is the complete, authoritative list of video codecs registered in the AVI Registry as of January 1998 🗂️
4 Mapping Codec IDs to GUID Values 🧚
There are direct mappings between WAVE Format IDs and GUIDs, and between FourCC codec values and GUIDs [5]. [Note: GUIDs are Globally Unique Identifiers that are also known as Universally Unique Identifiers (UUIDs). UUIDs have been standardized within the Open Software Foundation's (OSF) Distributed Computing Environment (DCE).] These mappings let GUID-oriented software refer to these historic codec values directly. For example, the Advanced Streaming Format (ASF) [6] uses GUID values to refer to codecs, and the conversion below is how you turn the historic WAVE and AVI codec values into the right GUID for use in ASF 💖
To convert a WAVE Format ID to a GUID, put the hexadecimal value of the WAVE Format ID into the XXXXXXXX part of this template: {XXXXXXXX-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71}. For example, the WAVE Format ID 123 has the GUID value {00000123-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71} 🌈
FourCC values get converted to GUIDs by putting the FourCC value into the XXXXXXXX part of that same template: {XXXXXXXX-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71}. For example, converting the FourCC value "H260" gives the GUID value {30363248-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71}. [Note: the 32-bit FourCC value "H260" is turned into the hexadecimal 32-bit value 30363248, because the starting XXXXXXXX of the GUID is defined as a DWORD and so takes a 32-bit hexadecimal value. Endian considerations explain the apparent reordering of the original ASCII text.] 🙈
5 Security Considerations 💀
This document only registers a set of formats. It does nothing to address the security considerations of those formats. Each format has to be checked for security issues on its own. This is serious, so please don't skip it 🚨
