Confused ! About which Video Format to Choose From?
There
are various types of video file formats available. Each operating
system support different-different types of video format. Sometimes
we also confuse which file format is better for our device. In this article, we are going to discuss about it to clear your doubts about a video file
format.
MPEG,
different codecs for each use
It
is based on the QuickTime format, which we will talk about later. In
addition to video and audio, it also allows storing subtitles or
still images. Another of its advantages is that with MPEG you can
stream. It is the standard format for digital video compression and
depending on the type of codec it will be ideal for one use or for
another.
If
your goal is to burn your video to CD, MPEG-1 will be the codec you
have to use. On the other hand, if you want a quality product on DVD,
choose MPEG-2. When you want to create an audio file, your codec is
the famous MP3. And finally, probably the most used by users, MP4
for the web.
If
you are thinking of including a video in your Editafácil publication
, we definitely recommend the mp4 format
AVI,
quality but heavy
AVI
is a digital video storage standard created by Microsoft in 1992.
With the AVI format, videos of high quality but too heavy are
obtained, so its use for the Internet is not recommended.
There
are different compression codecs for AVI, but DivX and XviD offer the
best compression-quality ratio.
AVI
is ideal for storing original videos directly from the camera encoded
in DV, it also allows including multiple audio streams, that is,
including soundtracks in different languages.
MOV,
the Apple format
MOV
has been developed by Apple and has its own codec that is updated
regularly. In addition to the MOV extension, it can appear with the QT
(QuickTime) extension
It
has a very good quality-to-weight ratio, which makes it an ideal
format for the web. Like the MPEG format, AVI also supports
streaming. You can easily switch from MOV to MP4 by converting it.
WMV,
Windows Media Video
It
is a set of compression codecs that, as its name suggests, belongs to
Windows and although it can be viewed by different players, nothing
is better than Windows Media Player. It can even become a problem for
users who do not use the Bill Gates operating system.
The resulting file is usually packed in a multimedia container such as AVI,
if it is the only video in WMV and if it is only audio in WMA.
So,
guys, these are some names of video file formats. Hope to clear your
doubts about the video file format. Choose it according to your
device support.
