MPEG
MPEG is used to store films and movies. You can upload MPEG videos to Facebook and YouTube but not to mobile-based social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. VLC is the best media player to play MPEG videos but they cannot be opened on QuickTime.
MPEG stands for Moving Pictures Expert Group. They are usually compressed as MPEG2 or MPEG4, which makes them quicker to download and easier to stream. Videos stored as MPEG are of a higher quality than rivaling formats, as they can compress data at a higher rate. MPEG4 files are best for mobile devices as they are compressed into smaller file sizes than MPEG2.
WAV
WAV files store audio content "without" any compression. This makes them much larger than other file types. Although WAV files can take lots of space to store, they also store audio in high quality. This makes them useful for heavy-use audio storage like professional music recording. WAV files are widely used and can be opened on Windows Media Player, QuickTime Player, VLC, and many more. (The only exception is Linux).
WAV files may also appear as ‘WAVE’ in your folder. They are the same file type, just spelt differently. Developed jointly by Microsoft and IBM, the WAV format stores audio data, track numbers, sample rate and bit rate. Content is stored in segments of uncompressed "chunks".
