Video Codecs 1 story

Video Codecs is best understood within Media Formats & Production Technology through the way this specific layer behaves and interacts with the rest of the system. The topic connects workflow, format support, encoding with capture, editing, codecs, color, compression, hardware acceleration, file formats, metadata, and workflow compatibility, focusing on how those pieces work together rather than repeating the broader Media Formats & Production Technology definition. For readers, the practical value is to understand how to balance quality, file size, editing flexibility, playback support, and production performance.
