What is MP4?
MP4, or MPEG-4 Part 14, is a widely used digital multimedia container format. It can store video, audio, subtitles, and still images in a single file. MP4 is highly compatible across different devices and platforms, making it a popular choice for streaming, downloading, and sharing videos. It typically uses the H.264 or H.265 codecs for video compression, balancing quality and file size efficiently.
What is MPV?
MPV is a video file format that typically contains raw or elementary MPEG-2 video streams without audio, subtitles, or metadata. It is not a multimedia container like MP4, but rather a video-only stream used in professional editing or DVD authoring. MPV files are usually large due to minimal compression. They require specific software or codecs to play and are not widely supported across consumer devices.
