Understanding MKV and WMA file formats
MKV (Matroska Video) is a popular multimedia container format that can hold video, audio, subtitles, and metadata in a single file. It is widely used for high-quality video content and supports multiple audio and subtitle tracks.
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is an audio file format developed by Microsoft, designed for efficient audio compression and playback. WMA files are commonly used for music and audio streaming, offering good sound quality at lower bitrates.
