With the availability of YouTube downloaders, it has become a trend to download any video and store it on a device. YouTubNow is also a video downloader that helps you in saving the downloaded video. However, most of the users cannot make out the video format that is best for them. You are able to save videoswith YouTubNow in any of the two formats- MP4 and 3GP.
While you are dealing with the two formats, you may like to know the better one for storing the online video. Though both of them have several media tracks and similar type of encoding processes, you can find other differences in them. You have to find out whether they can work on the portable gadgets, like mobile.
At the time of creating any web-based video, it is published with a compression process. While the process is going on, the codecs or scripts help in encoding media file and in making everything comprehensible. The audio, video, animation and subtitle files are blended into one file with a multimedia track. 3GP and MP4 formats have a very close relation as the files in these formats are composed with MPEG-4 compressed version.
Features of two file formats–
For implementing the compression of MPEG-4, 3GP file format has been released. Although this type of encoding is used for online videos, the engineers apply it for functioning on 3G Smartphone. For most of the online videos, MP4 is the common format.
Which one is more functional?
MPEG-4 in the compressed format is potential for running high-standard videos, while the bandwidth is very low. That is why you can find small sized files, consuming limited space. We have found that MP4 is acceptable to the most of mobiles and video players. However, still, MP4 is not fully optimized to play videos on any 3G mobile. In this case, 3GP is the better format for your video files.
Compatibility of the formats–
In most of the media players, you can open your 3GP video files. However, as MP4 is one of the most generalized and highly shared formats, we think that it is the standard one in any media player applications.
In conclusion, we like to say that for streaming any movie on a media player or PC, you may store the video in MP4 format. It is also able to deal with very high-resolution files. You may also use 3GP for the 3G phones.
