Part 1: Why Video should be Converted to MP4?

MP4 is the coding standard used for audio and video compression. In our daily life, AVI and WMV are the formats of HD videos. However, these two formats are not supported in many mobile devices. At this situation, we should convert to MP4, a widely used standard format, supported by almost all mobile devices. Moreover, the file size of MP4 is not large but video quality is well. These features are right for the devices with small storage capacity.
