AV1 ist ein modernes Videoformat, das vor allem bei Streaming-Diensten beliebt ist – doch in vielen Unternehmen, Behörden und technischen Abteilungen stößt es schnell an Grenzen. Ältere Abspielgeräte, Konferenzsysteme und gängige Schnittsoftware kommen mit AV1-Dateien schlicht nicht zurecht. MP4 hingegen gilt seit Jahren als verlässlicher Standard, der überall funktioniert: im Besprechungsraum, beim Kunden oder im Archiv. Wer AV1-Aufnahmen weitergeben, einbetten oder langfristig speichern möchte, ist mit einer Konvertierung ins MP4-Format gut beraten. Das geht direkt im Browser – ohne Installation, ohne Registrierung, und Ihre Dateien verlassen dabei nicht Ihren Rechner.
- Technische Produktvideos für CAD- und Maschinenbau-Dokumentationen
- Schulungsaufzeichnungen für betriebsinterne Compliance-Nachweise
- Baubeschreibungen und Planungsvideos für Behördeneinreichungen
In Deutschland und Österreich schreiben viele Vergaberichtlinien und Normen (etwa im öffentlichen Bauwesen oder bei ISO-zertifizierten Betrieben) gängige, langzeitarchivierungsfähige Formate vor – AV1 erfüllt diese Anforderungen derzeit noch nicht, MP4 hingegen ist weitgehend anerkannt.
