They haven't gone over my head. 

Here are some examples of stuff that *may* help explain containers:

1.  Why are there *several* containers that use the same codec?

2.  What codecs are compatible with what containers?

3.  What causes some codecs to be incompatible with some containers?

4.  Why are containers necessary at all?

5.  Compare and contrast, in detail, the info that is in codecs vs 
containers.

Fiat Lux!  (The motto of my Alma Mater, btw.  :))
