A video
codec that was implemented by
Microsoft as Windows Media Video (WMV) 9.
VC-1 is standardized by by Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE), which specifies the complete
bit stream syntax as
well as transport and conformance for the delivery of high definition (HD) content.
VC-1 content is transport-independent and container-independent allowing
delivery over
MPEG-2 and real-time transfer protocol (
RTP) systems. Although
VC-1 is considered a Microsoft product, VC-1 is open to implementation by
anyone. Also called
Windows Media Video 9 codec.
