Hello DVDFab community,
I was wondering if anyone could give some more detailed insight on this new feature. Is there a benefit to remuxing MKVs with MKVToolNix over the StreamFab remuxer? Furthermore, does the MP4 option offer a closer 1:1 download? I've been using MKV because its my preferred file type and I thought it was 1:1 regardless but if that's not the case I can switch to MP4. I appreciate any information you can provide!

from what i could find - "remux leaves the streams as the they are, with no quality loss"
MKV can store unlimited multimedia content, including video, audio, images, and subtitle tracks. MKV format is commonly used for movies and TV shows. It supports virutally all video/audio coding formats. MKV may allow for codecs that mp4 does not.
MP4 is popular due to its high level of compression. The format is also highly versatile with its two different extensions (mp4a and mp4v) and suits you if you want to attach any metadata. Compatibility is one more strength of this video format. You can run MP4 on most social media platforms and video players. At the same time, I won’t recommend this format in case you plan to avoid high loading time or look for increased copyright protection.
MKV is good as an open-source format (it means that you as a video creator or editor will get more freedom as compared to MP4, for example). It doesn’t yield to MP4 in its lossless compression and has even better video quality in most cases. At the same time, MKV isn’t compatible with most mobile video players. The same as MP4, it has the problem of long loading time, and its videos are usually too large.
