Everyone should have equal access to the same body of human knowledge to with it what they want. Just because some people pay (college students) to fund the improvement of knowledge doesn't mean that others should be deprived of these advancements, especially when it comes to public education institutions who exist for the betterment of society.

The video format, which is the codec used to encode the stream, and the container which is the file format that you put your stream into.
