* This documentation was generated from a list of file formats and codecs that can be recognized and decoded by Avalon's versions of FFmpeg and MediaInfo, two necessary components of the Matterhorn processing workflow. We have not tested each format and codec individually, and this list is subject to change based on the versions of FFmpeg and MediaInfo implemented in Avalon.
