You can put any manner of Pens (Video streams) or Pencils (Audio streams) inside them, such as a Blue Pen, Red Pen, Green .. A small pen, a big pen, a multi-color pen... What you should be interested in is the codec, is it h.264 or XviD for example. Compressing using h.264 will take significantly longer but it's better quality for smaller filesize. So, technically speaking, asking if it's an MP4 or an AVI file realistically tells you diddly squat about the file contents, codecs, compression / bitrate etc. Use Handbrake to convert it: http://handbrake.fr It will let you actually *see* what kind of codecs you're going to be using and adjust appropriately. |
