When it comes to figuring out what video files are good for your needs it can be hard to find out if a site will accept it, or if you can even download the file into the specific file type that you need. Each video file comes with its advantages, MP4 though is the most widely used.
Using MP4
With the wide range of sites that accept MP4 and two codecs that it can be saved on it is a versatile file type that is both high quality and smaller in file size making it advantageous to use when it comes to conserving disk space on your computer. Converting to MP4 will not only help with quality and file size but MP4 is one of the most used file types when it comes to a number of uses like uploading to Youtube, Twitter, Discord, and more. Having a file type that is so widely used is a huge time saver and having a site like converting.to to back you up can save you even more time.
Is MP4 any better?
While every video file type will have its advantages MP4 can be seen as good all around, it won't be the highest quality like MKV but it doesn't come with the large file sizes that you will have with MKV. Finding sites that support AVI, FLV, and WEBM can be difficult as they do not have widespread support on all operating systems and websites, but with MP4 you don't have any of these issues. MP4 can be easily converted to having two codecs each with their uses, their biggest difference is the storage required when saving to different resolutions. With H.265 you will be using less storage overall than its counterpart H.264, though swapping them around when it comes to bandwidth required for each codecs resolution you will see that h.264 uses more than H.265 does.
