Every Video Format Explained in 13 Minutes!

Sixteen video formats explained from most common to most niche — MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, WebM, MPEG, WMV, FLV, 3GP, TS, VOB, ProRes, DNxHR, CineForm, R3D, and BRAW — covering what each one actually does, which codecs live inside it, and when you'd use one over another. From the universal format that works everywhere to raw cinema files that cost $60,000 just to create. Some of these were built for the internet when dial-up was normal. Others were designed for Hollywood color grading at 8K resolution. One format powered every DVD you've ever watched. Another was Flash video — the thing that made early YouTube possible before Steve Jobs personally killed it. And the format most people should use for almost everything is also the one that gets picked by accident because it just works. Which format confused you the most before this video?
