About Matroska (MKV)
Matroska (MKV) is an open container format that can hold almost any video and audio codec, any number of audio and subtitle tracks, chapters and attachments.
It is popular for films and series with several audio languages and subtitle tracks, and for archiving video.
Many phones, browsers and TVs do not play MKV files directly, even when they support the codecs inside.

About Animated PNG
APNG (Animated PNG) extends PNG with animation frames. A viewer that does not support APNG shows its first frame as an ordinary PNG.
Animated stickers and web animations that need more than GIF's 256 colours or smooth transparency; all major browsers display it.
An APNG is usually much larger than a video of the same clip, and it has no sound.
Why convert an animation to APNG? It keeps GIF-style looping but with full colour and transparency, so gradients and photos survive.
