+# AAC codec registration
+
+## Description
+
+The Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) audio codec, specified in [ISO/IEC 14496-3](https://www.iso.org/standard/76383.html).
+
+An AAC bitstream can have either of two formats:
+- _AAC_ (raw), where packets contain raw AAC frames (syntax element `raw_data_block()`) as defined in [ISO/IEC 14496-3](https://www.iso.org/standard/76383.html) Section 4.4.2.1. Here, codec metadata is provided out-of-band.
+- _ADTS_, where packets contain ADTS frames as defined in [ISO/IEC 14496-3](https://www.iso.org/standard/76383.html) Section 1.A.3.2. Here, codec metadata is provided in-band in each ADTS frame header.
+
+All packets within the bitstream must have the same format.
+
+## Codec ID
+
+```ts
+'aac'
+```
+
+## `EncodedPacket` data
+
+If the bitstream is in the _AAC_ (raw) format, the packet's data must be a raw AAC frame (syntax element `raw_data_block()`) as defined in [ISO/IEC 14496-3](https://www.iso.org/standard/76383.html) Section 4.4.2.1.
+
+If the bitstream is in the _ADTS_ format, the packet's data must be an ADTS frame as defined in [ISO/IEC 14496-3](https://www.iso.org/standard/76383.html) Section 1.A.3.2.
+
+## `EncodedPacket` type
+
+The packet's type is always `'key'`.
+
+## `AudioDecoderConfig` codec string
+
+The following fully qualified codec strings are recognized:
+
+- `'mp4a.40.2'` — MPEG-4 AAC-LC
+- `'mp4a.40.02'` — MPEG-4 AAC-LC (leading zero for Aud-OTI compatibility)
+- `'mp4a.40.5'` — MPEG-4 HE-AAC v1 (AAC-LC + SBR)
+- `'mp4a.40.05'` — MPEG-4 HE-AAC v1 (leading zero for Aud-OTI compatibility)
+- `'mp4a.40.29'` — MPEG-4 HE-AAC v2 (AAC-LC + SBR + PS)
+- `'mp4a.67'` — MPEG-2 AAC-LC
+
+## `AudioDecoderConfig` description
+
+If the bitstream is in the _AAC_ (raw) format, `description` must be an `AudioSpecificConfig` as defined in [ISO/IEC 14496-3](https://www.iso.org/standard/76383.html) Section 1.6.2.1.
+
+If the bitstream is in the _ADTS_ format, `description` must be undefined.

+
+## Description
+
+The Advanced Video Coding (H.264) video codec, specified in [Rec. ITU-T H.264](https://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-H.264) / [ISO/IEC 14496-10](https://www.iso.org/standard/87574.html).
+
+An AVC bitstream can have either of two formats:
+- _Canonical_ (length-prefixed), as defined in [ISO/IEC 14496-15](https://www.iso.org/standard/89118.html) Section 5.3.2. Here, video parameter sets (SPS/PPS) are provided out-of-band.
+- _Annex B_, as defined in [Rec. ITU-T H.264](https://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-H.264) Annex B. Here, video parameter sets (SPS/PPS) must be provided in-band in the respective NALUs.
+
+All packets within the bitstream must have the same format.
+
+## Codec ID
+
+```ts
+'avc'
+```
+
+## `EncodedPacket` data
+
+The packet's data must be an access unit as defined in [Rec. ITU-T H.264](https://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-H.264) Section 7.4.1.2, in either _canonical_ or _Annex B_ format.
+
+## `EncodedPacket` type
+
+If the packet's type is `'key'`, then the packet is expected to contain a primary coded picture from which decoding can begin. Additionally, if the bitstream's format is _Annex B_, then this packet is also expected to contain the necessary video parameter sets to initialize the decoder.
+
+## `VideoDecoderConfig` codec string
+
+The full codec string begins with the prefix `'avc1.'` or `'avc3.'`, with a suffix of 6 characters as described respectively in Section 3.4 of [RFC 6381](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6381) and Section 5.4.1 of [ISO/IEC 14496-15](https://www.iso.org/standard/89118.html).
+
+## `VideoDecoderConfig` description
+
+If the bitstream is in the _canonical_ (length-prefixed) format, `description` must be an `AVCDecoderConfigurationRecord` as defined in [ISO/IEC 14496-15](https://www.iso.org/standard/89118.html) Section 5.3.3.1.
+
+If the bitstream is in the _Annex B_ format, `description` must be undefined.

+# Mediabunny Codec Registry
+
+The Mediabunny Codec Registry formalizes the precise definitions of all video and audio codecs supported by Mediabunny. More specifically, for any given codec, it describes the format that `EncodedPacket`, `VideoDecoderConfig` and `AudioDecoderConfig` must adhere to. All packets coming out of or going into Mediabunny are expected to adhere to this registry.
+
+The registry is an extension of the [WebCodecs Codec Registry](https://www.w3.org/TR/webcodecs-codec-registry/). Mediabunny's registry matches that of WebCodecs for all codecs supported by both.
