MP5 files are essentially MP4 files optimized for Chinese MP5 media players. To market themselves, many Chinese media players are branded “MP5 players”. MP5 files use the same codecs but are more compatible and efficient on those devices.
The .mp5 extension denotes MPEG-4/H.264 videos for Portable Media Players. These players misleadingly market themselves as “MP5” to seem distinct. An .mp5 video is usually encoded specifically for PMP compatibility and performance. H.264 provides quality, smaller videos ideal for portable devices.
MP5 files play on Chinese MP5 media players. Like MP4s, MP5s use MPEG-4 or MPEG-H codecs. The only difference is MP5 optimization for those devices. It is an MP4 variation tailored for optimal compatibility and performance.
