    About MKV and WAV

    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.

    WAV: WAV stores uncompressed PCM audio, so it keeps every bit of the original sound. Files are large, but WAV is the standard for audio editing, studios and professional software.
