Multiformat Content Playback

Multiformat is a file type that groups other files of the same digital content but may
be encoded in different digital formats. For example, a single video file may actually
include a few components such as video, audio, and photo grouped together.
The media player is capable of playing several different types of multiformat files. For
a detailed list of supported formats, refer to "Supported Formats" on page 153.
