MP4 is an abbreviation for MPEG-4 Part 14. It can also be called MPEG-4 AVC. In this case, the abbreviation AVC (Advanced Video Coding) is an advanced video encoding. By the name of the format, it is easy to guess that it is necessary for working with video files. The format was first proposed in 1998. Since then, MP4 is considered one of the most common file formats used to store and transmit multimedia. MP4 is a container format that provides the ability to combine audio, video, subtitles and pictures in one file. It is also suitable for posting rich content. Say three-dimensional graphics, menus and interactive features. There are many portable players and other devices that play MP4. For this, a PC or laptop is also quite suitable. The MP4 format is a robust application that needs relatively low performance. And therefore, users could use such a tool for their own purposes. This tool has found wide application, as the technology for the production of more and more powerful devices, both portable and desktop with a large hard drive capacity, is constantly evolving. Due to the fact that the speeds of various types of connections to the global network are increasing, MP4 has become more affordable. It acts like the MP3 format, although it is more complex. The format compresses files and remains high-quality.

MKA is an audio container format. It supports some types of audio compression algorithms. The .mka file extension belongs to the Matroska format (Matröška, Matryoshka). Thus, it serves to specifically designate the file type "Matroska Audio File" (Matroska Audio File). Matroska is an open cross-platform standard. It is a modern extensible multimedia container format. It is error resistant. It is suitable for streaming HTTP / RTP. Supports multiple subtitle tracks, audio, video. The Matroska standard is supported in the native mode by many software players and hardware devices, including, for example, receivers, televisions, smartphones, etc. A .mka file is a regular Matroska container that has one or more audio tracks. They are encoded by any of the supported codecs. In most cases, AAC and AC3 (Dolby Digital) codecs are used. Playing a .mka file needs the support of the standard Matroska container format. But not only. There must also be a specific audio codec with which the tracks are encoded. Often, MKA files are used as external audio tracks for movies in other languages. Or with other content, or with sound quality. Say multi-channel sound, director’s comments. .Mka audio files are used as containers for high-quality multi-channel music.
