<a name="reference-codecs-containers"></a>

MediaConvert supports the following combinations of output containers and codecs.

For outputs that contain *only* audio inside the output container, MediaConvert supports a different set of containers and codecs. For more information, see [Supported output formats for audio-only workflows](audio-only-output.md).

Some containers and codecs have additional restrictions. For more information about the video container, video codec, or audio codec, choose its link in the following reference table. Or see [Supported containers and codecs reference tables](supported-containers-codecs-details.md).
