Expand description
The entire experimental surface of this format, in one place.
AV2F is not an AOM standard. AVIF is defined by a published AOM
specification that fixes its brand (avif), item type (av01) and
configuration box (av1C); no equivalent document exists for AV2 — or
at least none that this crate’s authors have seen. Every four-character code
below is therefore chosen, not specified.
They are gathered here, and nowhere else, so that the day a real specification appears the change is this file and nothing more. Nothing in the reader or writer hard-codes a four-character code; they all read these constants.
Until then, files produced by this crate are readable by this crate and by nothing else. See the crate README.

- Major brand written into
ftyp, and the brand a reader requires. - COMPATIBLE_
BRANDS - Compatible brands written into
ftypafter the major brand. - CONFIG_
BOX - Codec configuration property box type.
- CONFIG_
VERSION - Marker byte written into the configuration record so a future reader can tell files made by this crate apart from anything a real specification later defines. Bumped only if the layout of our config record changes.
- EXTENSION

- ITEM_
