Which one looks better on laptop? MP4 or WMV?

Hello geeks,

A good question for a lot of people. We all know who it will be the winner in the end, so let's start with some explanations.

WMV Format (Windows Media Video)

Older than MP4, it was born with Windows back in '95. The first video format available then because of the lack of technology at that time.

The quality is pixelated. Children at that time were fascinated by the new current. 

Watching videos back then was a privilege.

The famous MP4 (mpeg layer 4)

This format is here to stay for a long time. It combines a great video compression with clear audio in the background.

It's weaker than it's competitor (MKV) but it saves space deferring quality. 

It was implemented a few years ago as a continuation of the MP3, which stands for the universal audio extension in Windows.

Conclusion

MP4 is newer than WMV. Therefore, it implements a better video quality by the fact that it's newer than WMV.

It takes more space than a simple old WMV video but the storage is not a problem for us nowadays.

Keep the MP4 going. It's better than most of videos extension, as quality and storage residence.
