Almost everyone can recall how popular DVDs or Digital Versatile Disks were. It is even more likely you have more than one DVD in your attic or basement.

The emergence of platforms offering the streaming of on-demand video content has definitely revolutionized entertainment. Nowadays anyone can watch a movie, documentary, animation and so forth streamed direct to their smartphone, laptop, desktop or other device capable of supporting an internet browser.

- High Compression Rate
The MP4 video format offers a higher compression rate than all the other video formats.
