# Supported containers and codecs reference tables
<a name="supported-containers-codecs-details"></a>

The following sections provide reference tables for containers and codecs that MediaConvert supports. 

To use these tables, first find the container or codec using the links following this introduction. For containers, the tables provide details for which video or audio codecs are supported, and whether they're supported for inputs or outputs. For codecs, the tables provide details for which containers are supported, for inputs and outputs as well. Note that inputs or outputs labeled like *Audio-only input* or *Audio-only output* refer to support for audio-only workflows. For more information, see [Creating audio-only outputs](audio-only.md).

For quick reference tables that show which input formats MediaConvert supports, see [Supported input formats](reference-codecs-containers-input.md).

For quick reference tables that show which output formats MediaConvert supports, see [Supported output formats](reference-codecs-containers.md).

This section contains reference tables for input and output containers that MediaConvert supports. The tables show the container, support on the input or output side, and video or audio codec support in the container. For more information about the codec, or to see codec support in other containers, choose the codec link.

For information about CMAF HLS, see [CMAF containers](#container-cmaf).  
When outputting HEVC in an HLS container, we recommend using a CMAF output group for the widest player compatibility.

You can also passthrough Apple ProRes inputs to MXF and MOV output containers. For more information, see: [Video passthrough codec support and job settings requirements](video-passthrough-feature-restrictions.md)  
To preserve 4:4:4 chroma subsampling in your Apple ProRes outputs:   
+ You cannot include any of the following Preprocessors: **Dolby Vision**, **HDR10\+**, or **Noise reducer**.
+ You must use the Duplicate Drop as the frame rate conversion algorithm (when using frame rate conversion).
+ You cannot mix RGB and non RGB inputs. 
+ You cannot mix 4:4:4 inputs with other non-4:4:4 inputs. 
+ You can only use the NexGuard File Maker preprocessor.

When outputting HEVC in an HLS container, we recommend using a CMAF output group for the widest player compatibility.

For more information about the XAVC format, see: [https://pro.sony/ue\_US/technology/xavc](https://pro.sony/ue_US/technology/xavc).  
XAVC inputs are supported, as they are a subset of [MXF](#container-mxf) containers with [AVC (H.264)](#codec-avc) video codecs.
