MKV vs MP4: Which One Suits You Better?

If you want to watch videos on your pc in high HD quality, choose MKV.

For watching videos on portable devices like iPhone, Android with good quality, choose MP4.


"I have been in the middle of converting my movie collection into MKV package. But I found MKV can't be played on my iPad so I converted number of movies into MP4. What are the differences between MKV and MP4? If I backup movies as MP4 files am I making sacrifices in quality? Hoping that I did not screw pooch these days..."

Although many users may have to convert their videos into other formats sometime, the world of video formats can be pretty confusing to them. Actually, it's nothing new that users can hardly figure out the right format from MKV vs MP4, two most common video formats. Here this article gives detailed information about the two video formats to help you choose the one better suits your need.


What is MKV? MKV, the file format for Matroska Multimedia Container, is an open standard free container format, a file format that can hold an unlimited number of video, audio, picture or subtitle tracks inside a single file. It is intended to serve as a universal format for storing common multimedia content, like movies or TV shows. MKV can hold all of the same digital elements of MP4. MKV can also compress high quality videos into smaller files.

What is MP4? MP4 is short for MPEG-4 and succeeds the MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 formats. Like MKV, it's a container format because it includes video, audio, images, playlists, chapter markers and subtitles defined by MPEG. This container format allows to combine different multimedia streams into one file. This file format is created to contain timed media information in a flexible, extensible format in order to interchange, manage and edit multimedia.
