Category	Video File

Technical Details	File saved into the MKV format more often than not save each track (subtitle, picture, audio and video) into a different dataline. This is similar to other container formats such as AVI or MP4 although generally when packaging an MKV file people rarely bundle all the tracks within the file. Most media players do not natively support MKV files, you would have to use a special media playing software to access its content normally such as VLC.

File extension	.mp3
Category	Music File
Description	MP3 is a digital music format which allows CD tracks to be reduced to around a tenth of their normal size without a significant loss of quality. MP3 gets rid of a lot of the information recorded in a song that our ears are not able to hear and then uses complex algorithms to reduce the file size. This then enables you to get hundreds of songs on to a CD and it also has opened up a new market over the internet - the download market as download times have been significantly reduced.

Technical Details	The MP3 format is a lossy format. That means that an MP3 file does not contain 100% of the original audio information. Instead, MP3 files use perceptual coding. In other words, that means it removes the information that your ear doesn't notice thereby making the file smaller. The reason lossy formats are used over RAW is that RAW audio files are too large to travel over the internet at any great speed. By using lossy formats it enables even dial up users to download mp3 files at a reasonable speed. RAW file formats generally require 176,000 bytes per second compared to a lossy format which requires 17,600. The difference is massive and so are the download times.
