I'm not trying to be elitist, but this is "Hacker News", not CNN or BBC. It should be safe to assume some level of computer literacy.
Knowledge of all available codecs is certainly not the same tier as basic computer literacy. I agree it doesn't need to be dumbed down to the general user, but we also shouldn't assume everyone here know every technical abbreviation.
