  2. Hi again,
    this one is for you EeRe8,

    Four-Character Codes (FOURCC), a set of codes that are four characters in length, was introduced by Microsoft to clearly identify video data stream formats. The unique FOURCC value assigned to every compression format and pixel layout allows video frames to be passed between file and codec by ensuring the FOURCC of the source frame matches a FOURCC supported by the codec. FOURCCs describe the software technology that was used to produce multimedia data. By implication, they also describe the format of the data itself.


    FOURCCs and DirectDraw

    Microsoft® DirectDraw® uses FOURCC codes that are stored in file headers of files containing multimedia data such as bitmap images, sound, or video. DirectDraw-based applications use FOURCCs for image color and format conversion. If an application calls the IDirectDrawSurface7::GetPixelFormat method to request the pixel format of a surface whose format is not red-green-blue (RGB), the dwFourCC member of the DDPIXELFORMAT structure identifies the FOURCC when the method returns.

    In addition, the biCompression member of the BITMAPINFOHEADER structure can be set to a FOURCC to indicate the codec used to compress or decompress an image.

    Also take a look here if you want:
