# Convert Videos

Video conversion changes a clip's container, its codec or both. Switching only the container, for example MKV to MP4 with the same H.264 stream, copies the data without loss; changing the codec re-encodes every frame and slightly lowers quality. MP4 with H.264 video plays on nearly every phone, browser and TV.
