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 WebM?

WMV (Windows Media Video) is a popular video file format developed by Microsoft. It is widely used for storing and streaming video content on Windows devices. WMV files offer good video quality with efficient compression, making them ideal for online video playback and sharing. Compatible with most Windows-based media players and supported by many video editing tools, WMV is a trusted format for smooth, high-quality video viewing, especially on Windows 10.
