Why is Video Format Conversion Needed?
In the digital age, video formats are diverse, each with its unique encoding method, compression algorithm, and application scenarios. For example, MP4 is widely used for web streaming and mobile devices due to its high compatibility and efficient compression ratio; MOV is a common video container format for Apple products (such as iPhone, Mac); while AVI and MKV are often used for high-quality video storage or encapsulating multiple audio tracks/subtitles. Due to varying levels of video format support across different devices (smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, etc.), player software, or video editing platforms, users often encounter compatibility issues where video files cannot be played, edited, or uploaded. Video format conversion tools are precisely designed to solve these compatibility challenges. They help users adjust video content to the required specific format, ensuring that videos can be played and used smoothly on any target device or platform, greatly enhancing the flexibility and convenience of video content.
