This registry is intended to enhance interoperability among implementations and users of [WEBCODECS]. In particular, this registry provides the means to identify and avoid collisions among codec strings and provides a mechanism to define codec-specific members of [WEBCODECS] codec configuration dictionaries.

This registry is not intended to include any information on whether a codec format is encumbered by intellectual property claims. Implementers and users are advised to seek appropriate legal counsel in this matter if they intend to implement or use a specific codec format. Implementers of WebCodecs are not required to support any particular codec nor registry entry.
