Removing header compression will allow videos to play on some standalone devices that do not yet support header compression. | Some .mkv files have been created with header compression, which prevents their playback on devices that do not support that feature. Unfortunately the list of such devices is long. Removing the header compression will allow those videos to play on those devices. If you receive a message that the "File format is not supported" when playing back a .mkv file, first run [[mediainfo|MediaInfo]] which will indicate if the file has header compression and if so use this process to remove it. |

Remuxing does not recode the video file, it just recombines and reorganizes the existing video file digital information, changing only the way the digital information is arranged in the file. The bits and bytes that make up the video and audio part of the file are not changed and therefore are not degraded in any way - quality of the remuxed file is identical to the original. | Remuxing does not recode the video file, it just recombines and reorganizes the existing video file digital information, changing only the way the digital information is arranged in the file.
