Which are the best video file formats in compressed and uncompressed formats?

For uncompressed video, the best formats are typically AVI and QuickTime (MOV), as they retain the highest quality but result in large file sizes. In terms of compressed formats, H.264 (often in MP4 containers) and H.265 (HEVC) are highly regarded for their efficient compression while maintaining good quality, making them ideal for streaming and storage. Additionally, VP9 is another effective compressed format, particularly for web use.


Which video format is more compressed - an .avi file or a .wmv file?

Is a higher kilobyte a higher resolution?

Yes and no. Higher resolution images usually require more memory to store them. However different photographic file formats may take different amounts of memory for the same resolution image (e.g. a jpg file will take less memory than a raw file for the same resolution image because the jpg is compressed and the raw is not compressed). Check the resolution of your camera to determine actual resolution, however if it saves the photos as jpg files or other compressed formats some "minor" details will be lost that would not be lost in raw files or other uncompressed formats (at the expense of needing more memory to store the files).
