Understanding IRF and MP4 file formats

The IRF file format is a proprietary video format used by certain digital video recorders (DVRs) and surveillance systems. It is designed to store video data captured by security cameras. Due to its proprietary nature, IRF files are not widely supported by standard media players or editing software.

On the other hand, the MP4 file format is a highly popular and widely supported multimedia format used for storing video, audio, and other data. It is known for its high compression efficiency and compatibility with a wide range of devices and platforms, making it a preferred choice for video playback and sharing.
