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.
MPEG
MPEG is used to store films and movies. You can upload MPEG videos to Facebook and YouTube but not to mobile-based social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. VLC is the best media player to play MPEG videos but they cannot be opened on QuickTime.
MPEG stands for Moving Pictures Expert Group. They are usually compressed as MPEG2 or MPEG4, which makes them quicker to download and easier to stream. Videos stored as MPEG are of a higher quality than rivaling formats, as they can compress data at a higher rate. MPEG4 files are best for mobile devices as they are compressed into smaller file sizes than MPEG2.
