What is MKV?
MKV (Matroska Video) is an open-source, flexible multimedia container format that supports an unlimited number of video, audio, subtitle, and metadata streams within a single file. MKV is known for its versatility and can handle a wide range of video codecs, such as H.264, H.265 (HEVC), and VP9, and audio codecs like AAC, MP3, and DTS. It is commonly used for high-definition video storage, such as movies, TV shows, and streaming content. MKV is widely compatible across modern platforms and devices and is popular for its flexibility and support for features like multi-audio tracks and subtitles.
What is MPEG?
MPEG stands for Moving Picture Experts Group, a working group formed by ISO and IEC to develop standards for audio and video compression. It creates widely used formats like MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4, which enable efficient storage and transmission of multimedia content. MPEG standards balance video quality and compression to reduce file size. They are commonly used in formats like MP3, MP4, and DVDs.
