WORKING WITH VARIOUS MULTIMEDIA FORMATS

a) MP4 – moving pictures Expert- an MP4 is a digital multimedia file format used
primarily for storing video and audio.

It stands for "MPEG-4 Part 14" and is one of the most common formats for video
playback.

MP4 files can also contain other data such as subtitles, still images, and metadata.
Because of its compression, it offers a good balance between quality and file size,
making it ideal for streaming over the internet and storing on devices.

b) AVI – audio video interleaves- AVI, which stands for Audio Video Interleave, is
a multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft in 1992.

It is one of the oldest video file formats and is widely used for storing both audio
and video data in a single file.

AVI files typically have less compression compared to more modern formats like
MP4, which can result in larger file sizes but often better video quality.

AVI supports multiple streaming audio and video, though it’s less efficient than MP4
in terms of file size and compression.

c) MKV –matroska format- MKV, or Matroska Video, is a multimedia container


format that can hold an unlimited number of video, audio, subtitle tracks, and
metadata (such as cover art and chapter points) in a single file.

It is highly versatile and widely used for high-definition video content, including Blu-
ray rips and online streaming.

d) FLV – flash video format- (Flash Video) is a file format designed for delivering
video content over the internet using Adobe Flash Player.

It was once widely used for online video streaming on platforms like YouTube before
more modern formats such as MP4 became the standard.

e) MOV - apple quick time movie- (Metal Oxide Varistor) is a multimedia


container format developed by Apple and commonly used for storing high-quality
video, audio, and text (like subtitles).

It was designed for Apple's QuickTime framework but is compatible with both
macOS and Windows platforms

f) WMV – windows media video- WMV (Windows Media Video) is a video


compression format developed by Microsoft. It is primarily used for streaming video
online and for playback on Windows-based devices.
