video format

A video format refers to the method used to encode and save video files, determining how they are compressed, stored, and played back. Common formats include MP4, AVI, and MOV, each with different characteristics regarding quality and compatibility with devices. The format affects file size, the clarity of the video, and how well it plays on various platforms, such as smartphones, computers, or streaming services. Essentially, it’s the “packaging” of the video content that influences its performance and accessibility.
