Taken from What is a codec ?: To fully understand the VideoLAN solution, you must understand the difference between a codec and a container format.
A codec is a compression algorithm, used to reduce the size of a stream. There are audio codecs and video codecs. MPEG?1, MPEG?2, MPEG?4, Vorbis, DivX, … are codecs.
A container format contains one or several streams already encoded by codecs. Very often, there is an audio stream and a video one. AVI, Ogg, MOV, ASF, … are container formats. The streams contained can be encoded using different codecs. In a perfect world, you could put any codec in any container format. Unfortunately, there are some incompatibilities. You can find a matrix of possible codecs and container formats on the features page.
To decode a stream, VLC first demuxes it. This means that it reads the container format and separates audio, video, and subtitles, if any. Then, each of these are passed decoders that do the mathematical processing to decompress the streams.

AutoLISP Application Documentation.pdf
Introduction This document explains the purpose and usage of several AutoLISP applications designed by David Allison for generating diagrams useful in the Earth Sciences. These applications can be easily modified for other purposes outside of the realm of Earth Science. The specific purpose and
usage of each application is described below, however, there is a certain degree of modification
necessary to the AutoCAD operating environment before they are ready to use. Each application may call procedures contained in several “libraries” of commonly used functions. A variable containing the file path to the directory where these files are located must be defined before one of the applications can be executed.
