A WEBM file is a compressed video saved in the WebM format, an open high quality video standard. It stores video compressed using VP8 technology and compressed audio using Ogg Vorbis compression. WEBM files are commonly used to deliver online video using HTML5. A WEBM file is a video in the open WebM format, which is widely used to broadcast videos over the Internet, including YouTube. The format complies with the HTML5 standard and is a container in which compressed video and audio streams are packed. The WebM file container contains a video stream compressed using the VP8 or VP9 codecs, an audio stream compressed with the Vorbis or Opus codec, and subtitles such as WebVTT may also be present. In fact, the structure of the WebM file repeats the Matroska media container, only in a very truncated form regarding the variety of formats and codecs used in MKV. The file with the WEBM extension is an innovative video presentation format that was released in 2010. The copyright holder of this extension is Google. Native WebM support in Mozilla Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome was announced at the 2010 Google I / O conference.

M4A is a file extension encoded with the AAC codec. An audio-only MPEG 4 container typically uses the M4A file extension. Compared to MP3, M4A has better sound quality and smaller file size. Contains audio encoded using the Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) or Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) codec. M4A files are close to .MP4 video files because both file types use the MPEG-4 container format. But M4A files only contain audio data. It aims to surpass MP3 and become the new standard for audio compression. M4A is pretty much very similar to MP3, but is designed to have better quality at the same or even smaller file size. The M4A format was first introduced by Apple. The format type is also known as Apple Lossless Encoder (ALE). The M4A format provides good compression with high sound quality and is widely used by Apple to distribute music through the iTunes Store. Songs that include copyright protection have the .M4P extension. Many programs support playing M4A files, including VLC, iTunes, QuickTime, Windows Media Player (v11 requires K-Lite codec pack), Media Player Classic.
