MP4 files can be used to store audio streams and text information, subtitles, and still images. At the same time, MPEG format can’t do this. Anyhow the processing of data into MPEG-4 part 14 requires private streams such as the use of hint tracks to include the information. |

It is a RAW format which you can later flip and separate based on needed data tracks. |
Technical details | Whether it is video, audio, subtitle, or image, every file will be stored in a separate data line. It is a lot similar to the MP4 or AVI format, although when users are packaging an MKV file, they rarely bundle all the tracks within the file. Various media players don't even support the MKV video format; therefore, the users need to use specialized media players who can help the MKV format, such as VLC media player. |
