The modern digital world provides a huge number of ways to get high-quality content. Of course, most ordinary users are not too interested in this, but even a person far from the computer could notice that the number of new formats of audio and video files has increased significantly . In particular, the MKV format has gained immense popularity in recent years. Speaking more scientifically, this is a special file container.
As the name implies, this file is used to save information in a "packed" form. Most of the video files are not particularly compact, and therefore, for ease of use, they are compressed using special codecs. The quality of this compression is largely characterized by the MKV format we mentioned.Back in the early 90s, the computer industry began to take its first steps in this direction. In particular, it was then that Microsoft created the extremely popular AVI (Audio Video Interleave) to this day . And for its time this discovery was a huge step forward, but today the capabilities of the old codec are already clearly insufficient. For example, in such a file it is impossible to fit a lot of additional information about the film. But MKV format of such features contains in abundance.
By the way, it was created by our compatriots. They tried to provide for the requirements that will be imposed on the video in the coming years. As a result, a new container appeared, which received the talking name "matryoshka". Already by name you can imagine its internal structure.-, MKV ? -, , . , «» . AVI , MKV «» .
