MKV vs. MP4: The Advantages and Disadvantages
Both .mkv and .mp4 containers have advantages and disadvantages in what products are capable of using them to decode h264, and what kind of data they can contain.
1. mp4 are better quality: No. Mkv containers can scale to higher quality than mp4 containers, and can contain higher quality streams and more advanced forms of subtitling.
2. mp4 takes up less space: No. Either has the possibility of being larger or smaller depending on certain options. The difference is typically negligible. Mkv's can be typically found to be larger, because the mkv container allows for more options and higher quality tracks - data that is not allowable in an mp4 container.
To conclude: mkv is more advantageous when you have a powerful playback device. mp4 is more advantageous for lower-end devices and universal compatibility.
