@chapter Description
NUT is a low overhead generic container format. It stores audio, video,
subtitle and user-defined streams in a simple, yet efficient, way.

It was created by a group of FFmpeg and MPlayer developers in 2003
and was finalized in 2008.

The official nut specification is at svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/nut
In case of any differences between this text and the official specification,
the official specification shall prevail.

@chapter Container-specific codec tags

@section Generic raw YUVA formats

Since many exotic planar YUVA pixel formats are not considered by
the AVI/QuickTime FourCC lists, the following scheme is adopted for
representing them.

The first two bytes can contain the values:
Y1 = only Y
Y2 = Y+A
Y3 = YUV
Y4 = YUVA

The third byte represents the width and height chroma subsampling
values for the UV planes, that is the amount to shift the luma
width/height right to find the chroma width/height.

The fourth byte is the number of bits used (8, 16, ...).

If the order of bytes is inverted, that means that each component has
to be read big-endian.

@item ULAW  @tab MU-LAW
@item P<type><interleaving><bits> @tab little-endian PCM
@item <bits><interleaving><type>P @tab big-endian PCM
@end multitable

<type> is S for signed integer, U for unsigned integer, F for IEEE float
<interleaving> is D for default, P is for planar.
<bits> is 8/16/24/32

@example
PFD[32]   would for example be signed 32 bit little-endian IEEE float
