@chapter Description
NUT is a low overhead generic container format. It stores audio, video,
subtitle and user-defined streams in a simple, yet efficient, way.
It was created by a group of FFmpeg and MPlayer developers in 2003
and was finalized in 2008.
The official nut specification is at svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/nut
In case of any differences between this text and the official specification,
the official specification shall prevail.
@chapter Modes
NUT has some variants signaled by using the flags field in its main header.
@multitable @columnfractions .4 .4
@item BROADCAST @tab Extend the syncpoint to report the sender wallclock
@item PIPE @tab Omit completely the syncpoint
@end multitable
@section BROADCAST
The BROADCAST variant provides a secondary time reference to facilitate
detecting endpoint latency and network delays.
It assumes all the endpoint clocks are synchronized.
To be used in real-time scenarios.
@section PIPE
The PIPE variant assumes NUT is used as non-seekable intermediate container,
by not using syncpoint removes unneeded overhead and reduces the overall
memory usage.
@chapter Container-specific codec tags
@section Generic raw YUVA formats
Since many exotic planar YUVA pixel formats are not considered by
the AVI/QuickTime FourCC lists, the following scheme is adopted for
representing them.
The first two bytes can contain the values:
Y1 = only Y
Y2 = Y+A
Y3 = YUV
Y4 = YUVA
The third byte represents the width and height chroma subsampling
values for the UV planes, that is the amount to shift the luma
width/height right to find the chroma width/height.
The fourth byte is the number of bits used (8, 16, ...).
If the order of bytes is inverted, that means that each component has
to be read big-endian.
@section Raw Audio
@multitable @columnfractions .4 .4
@item ALAW @tab A-LAW
@item ULAW @tab MU-LAW
@item P<type><interleaving><bits> @tab little-endian PCM
@item <bits><interleaving><type>P @tab big-endian PCM
@end multitable
<type> is S for signed integer, U for unsigned integer, F for IEEE float
<interleaving> is D for default, P is for planar.
<bits> is 8/16/24/32
@example
PFD[32] would for example be signed 32 bit little-endian IEEE float
