‘Convert MP4 to MKV’ Tutorial
MP4
MP4 is one of the most compatible video file formats. You can upload MP4 files to YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, and other social media sites. You can also play MP4 files with Windows Media Player, VLC, QuickTime, iPhone, iPad, Android, and almost all media players.
MP4 files are popular because they can be viewed almost anywhere, and even with high-quality video, the file sizes remain relatively small, making them easy to share. MP4 is short for 'MPEG4', and is a format that normally contains video and audio, but can also be used to store images and subtitles.
MKV
MKV contains video, audio, and text files. You can upload MKV files to Facebook and YouTube, but not to mobile-based social media platforms like Instagram. It is compatible with VLC media player.
The Matroska Video or MKV supports an unlimited number of video, audio, and subtitle tracks. It is free to use and is best for independent creators. MKV files are not compatible with Mac and must be converted before they can be played on Apple's QuickTime Player.
