Supported Video Formats Explained

Understanding video formats helps you make the right choice for your specific needs. MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is the most versatile format, supported by virtually every device, browser, and platform. It uses H.264 video compression which balances quality and file size exceptionally well. WebM is an open-source format developed by Google, optimized for web streaming with efficient VP8/VP9 compression. It produces smaller files than MP4 at comparable quality, making it ideal for websites. MOV is Apple's container format, widely used in professional video production and editing. It supports a wide range of codecs and is the default format for iPhone and Mac recordings. AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is one of the oldest video formats from Microsoft, offering broad compatibility with legacy systems and media players.
