MKV was designed to be future-proof and can store an unlimited number of video, audio, picture, or subtitle tracks in a single file.
While MOV is optimized for the Apple ecosystem, MKV has gained popularity for its flexibility, broad codec support, and open-source nature.
MKV is ideal for high-definition content and advanced multimedia projects, making it a preferred choice for enthusiasts and professionals alike.
