    There is really no point in changing a video from mp4 to mkv oder webm. It’s just the container. If the video doesn’t play on some devides its because of the codec. If you want it to play on as many devices as possible, You want your videos h264 encoded. For more modern devices you can use HEVC/h265 and safe some space on file size.

    If use ffmpeg for conversion.
