Deciding whether you should use MKV or MP4 isn’t easy. The choice depends on many factors, the most important of which is how you plan to use your videos. For instance, MP4 has broader support among platforms. This means that you should go for MP4 if you’re planning on playing videos on mobile devices and other platforms. However, if you expect to only use video players, such as XBMC, PotPlayer, and VLC, then MKV may be the better option. This is because MKV generally has higher audio quality and more features allowing you to utilize the full capacity of the aforementioned video players. Additionally, MKV is the more popular option for converting Blu-Ray discs and DVDs to video files, which the format excels in.
