video format support

Video format support refers to the types of video file formats a device or software can recognize and play. Different formats, like MP4, AVI, or MOV, organize video data in unique ways, which may require specific codecs—software that compresses or decompresses video—to function properly. Compatibility depends on the device's hardware and software capabilities. Using an unsupported format can result in no playback or reduced quality. Ensuring compatibility involves knowing which formats your device supports and converting videos to compatible formats if needed, allowing smooth playback across various devices and platforms.
