What is MP4?
MP4, or MPEG-4 Part 14, is a widely used digital multimedia container format designed to store video, audio, subtitles, and still images. It supports high-quality video compression using codecs like H.264 or H.265 and audio formats such as AAC or MP3. MP4 files are compatible with nearly all devices and platforms, including smartphones, computers, web browsers, and media players, making it one of the most versatile and accessible video formats available. Unlike M4V, MP4 typically does not include DRM protection, allowing for broader sharing and playback flexibility.
What is OGV?
OGV is a video file format that uses the Ogg container developed by the Xiph.Org Foundation. It typically stores video compressed with the Theora codec and audio with the Vorbis codec. OGV files are open-source and royalty-free, making them popular for use in web applications and free software projects. They are supported by many modern web browsers without needing additional plugins. OGV is often chosen for streaming video on the web due to its open format and good compression.
