tingtong Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 prefer .mkv or mpeg-4, in this order.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkerry Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 .mkv if you want the best quality and don't mind the larger file size, otherwise .mp4 is usually still decent enough for most people unless of course you have a super size tv in which case .mkv is the go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiangrai Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 flv is usually the smallest is it also poor quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joncl Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 VLC will play all of them OK .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhizBang Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 MKV hands down. FLV only as a last resort, and even then, maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusMe Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 If I want to burn to a disc, I've found that the burning software prefers avi files, so I'll either download those or have to convert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKAsok Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 MKV, MP4 and AVI are containers. They have no bearing on the quality of the video/audio they contain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kekalot Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 MKV, MP4 and AVI are containers. They have no bearing on the quality of the video/audio they contain. QFT, darn.. I was reading this thread and dying to post just that! personally, I would save a video with original extension.. maybe I am dense this afternoon but I don't see how a download manager would actually convert the files sounds like a basic renaming job to me besides, there is always loss of quality when converting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
