curious about container formats

[saint-francis]

Would it be possible for some one to point me in the direction of a good and thorough guide to the different container formats?
Thanks

You can see a avi/ogm/mkv comparison (mostly from a developer's point of view) on alex noe's website (http://alexander-noe.de/). More outrage concerning various container overheads here (http://www.alexander-noe.com/video/amg/en_estimate_overhead.html) and here (http://www.alexander-noe.com/video/amg/en_overhead_comparison.html) for some test results.

Then there's the wikipedia table (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_container_formats).

If you want a little bit of all-around explanation although not complete, you can visit this page (http://www.cccp-project.net/wiki/index.php?title=Video_file).
