    About MKV and GIF

    MKV: MKV is a flexible open container that can hold unlimited video, audio and subtitle tracks. It is popular for movies and anime but isn't supported by iPhone or most TVs out of the box.

    GIF: Animated GIF loops short silent clips and plays everywhere — chats, emails, websites and presentations — without a video player.
