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.
WMV
WMV is a popular video format designed primarily for Windows devices. You can upload WMV files to Facebook and YouTube, but not to mobile-based social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. WMV files can be opened on Windows Media Player or any other native video player on a Windows operating system.
It is a popular storage format for third-party programs storing short animations. Windows Media Video (WMV) files are not compatible with Apple devices like iPhones. All WMV files must be converted before they can be played on Apple's QuickTime Player.
