Why is Video Format Conversion Needed?
In the digital age, video formats are diverse, and each format has its unique encoding method, compression algorithm, and applicable scenarios. For example, MP4 is widely used in network streaming and mobile devices due to its high compatibility and efficient compression ratio; MOV is a video container format commonly used by Apple products (such as iPhone, Mac); AVI and MKV are often used for high-quality video storage or multi-track/subtitle encapsulation. Because different devices (smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, etc.), player software, or video editing platforms have varying levels of support for video formats, users often encounter compatibility issues where video files cannot be played, edited, or uploaded. Video format conversion tools are created to solve these compatibility problems, helping users adjust video content to the specific format required, ensuring that videos can be played and used smoothly on any target device or platform, greatly enhancing the flexibility and convenience of video content.
