MP4
MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is the most universal video container format today, commonly paired with H.264/H.265 codecs. It is widely supported by browsers, media players, social media platforms, and mobile devices, making it the default choice for web video delivery.
MP4 is well-suited for storage and distribution, but recording and encoding capabilities in browsers depend on the device and system. Some environments cannot output H.264-encoded MP4; in such cases, WebM is a reliable alternative. 3D product showcase tools export MP4 when browser support is available and automatically fall back to WebM when it is not.
