What format is in-car video?
2 Answers
In-car videos generally support AVI, RMVB, and MP4 formats. The specific introductions are as follows: Format origin: AVI was introduced by Microsoft, similar to DVD video format. The AVI format is divided into three parts, including the file header, data block, and index block. RMVB was developed by RealNetworks, this video format has higher clarity. The Chinese name for MP4 format is Moving Picture Experts Group, mainly used for voice transmission, television broadcasting, etc. Concept: Video format is an identification symbol given to video files by video playback software to enable playback. Classification: Video formats can be divided into two major categories: local video suitable for local playback and network streaming video suitable for playback over the internet.
The formats for in-car videos are actually quite diverse. I often play movies or music videos in my car for entertainment. The most commonly supported format is MP4, due to its strong compatibility, and it plays smoothly in my car. Others like AVI, MOV, or WMV might also work sometimes, but I'm not sure every car supports them, so I'd recommend starting with MP4. It's best not to use too high a video resolution—720p or 1080p is safer, as 4K might cause lag. For the file system, remember to format your USB drive as FAT32 or exFAT, as NTFS format might not be readable. After downloading online videos, I always use free tools like HandBrake to convert them, ensuring the files aren't corrupted. Checking the car owner's manual usually tells you the specific supported formats, making it easy to prepare travel videos.
