The most important differences between a compressed MP4 user file and an uncompressed RAW file

What is a user profile?

  • Compressed MP4 file:

A compressed file is a lightweight version of a video or audio that is created after compressing the raw file to reduce its size, while maintaining acceptable quality for everyday viewing and sharing.


Features:

⚡ Small size and easy to store (usually 1GB per hour of video).

Easy to operate on mobile phones and tablets, without the need for advanced software.

Compatible with all operating systems (Windows – Mac – Android – iOS).

Ideal for quick sharing and viewing via WhatsApp, email, YouTube, etc.

Easy to upload online or share with family or friends.

  • It doesn't require the highest quality, it cares about ease and speed.
  • He has limited storage space and doesn't like to upload large files.
  • He wants to save a light copy for daily viewing only without the need for long archiving.


What is a master file?

  • Uncompressed raw (master) file: This is the highest-quality digital version extracted directly from the source without any compression or data loss, and is the approved file for archiving or professional editing.

In the conversion process, we use special professional cables that decompose the analog signal (stored on the tape) into 3 separate stages. Each signal is transmitted independently to ensure maximum purity and accuracy, allowing full transmission space for each component without interference or loss of detail.

The signals are then reassembled and converted into a single, integrated, high-definition video file. In the case of digital tapes, they are transmitted via special, high-capacity connections to transfer the maximum possible amount of data. These massive amounts are then professionally handled by computers capable of processing, analyzing, and recording signals.


Suitable for:

  • Government agencies and archives.
  • People who have a valuable library and family history and are looking to digitize it as an original copy.
  • Ability to edit and montage digital files in the future.
  • Anyone looking for long-term digital file storage according to international archival standards.
  • Suitable for later editing and montage: You can edit it with any professional program without quality degradation.


Features:

  • Large size (1 GB per minute)
  • Save colors correctly 100%
  • Save all the picture and sound details as they are from the tape.
  • No data is reduced or lost.
  • Long-term storage: Used in archiving because it maintains quality over time.
  • Permanent reference point: You can later extract compressed or different versions of it without having to go back to the tape.
