About MPEG-4 Part 14 video
Broad device support, efficient streaming, flexible codec choices, and good compatibility with social platforms. Compatibility depends on the codecs inside the container, not only the .mp4 extension; advanced subtitles and chapter support vary.
Format referenceWhy convert WMV to MP4?
- MP4 is more appropriate for the target application, device, or delivery channel than WMV.
- Compatibility is the main reason to convert when another person or service cannot open the source.
- The new format may support a feature the source container does not.
- The result can be reviewed without changing the file that other people still use.
Will quality change?
MP4 output uses a standard video codec and may drop subtitle, attachment, or metadata tracks. Test playback on the target device. Keep the source if you may need to adjust the conversion later.
