<h1 class="chapter"><a href="nut.html#toc-Description">1 Description</a></h1>
<p>NUT is a low overhead generic container format. It stores audio, video,
subtitle and user-defined streams in a simple, yet efficient, way.
</p>
<p>It was created by a group of FFmpeg and MPlayer developers in 2003
and was finalized in 2008.
</p>
<p>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.

<h1 class="chapter"><a href="nut.html#toc-Modes">2 Modes</a></h1>
<p>NUT has some variants signaled by using the flags field in its main header.

<a name="BROADCAST"></a>
<h2 class="section"><a href="nut.html#toc-BROADCAST">2.1 BROADCAST</a></h2>
<p>The BROADCAST variant provides a secondary time reference to facilitate
detecting endpoint latency and network delays.
It assumes all the endpoint clocks are syncronized.
To be used in real-time scenarios.
</p>
<a name="PIPE"></a>
<h2 class="section"><a href="nut.html#toc-PIPE">2.2 PIPE</a></h2>
<p>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.

<a name="Generic-raw-YUVA-formats"></a>
<h2 class="section"><a href="nut.html#toc-Generic-raw-YUVA-formats">3.1 Generic raw YUVA formats</a></h2>
<p>Since many exotic planar YUVA pixel formats are not considered by
the AVI/QuickTime FourCC lists, the following scheme is adopted for
representing them.
</p>
<p>The first two bytes can contain the values:
Y1 = only Y
Y2 = Y+A
Y3 = YUV
Y4 = YUVA
</p>
<p>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.
</p>
<p>The fourth byte is the number of bits used (8, 16, ...).
</p>
<p>If the order of bytes is inverted, that means that each component has
to be read big-endian.
