Convert TIF to MKV
What is TIF?
TIF
TIF stores a single professional-quality static image. Video requires frame sequences with audio. One archival image provides one frozen moment—video needs thousands of frames per second. TIF is for quality preservation, not motion capture.
- TIF stores static single-frame images, requiring frame sequencing for video creation
- Single static frame—video requires frame duplication or sequencing
What is MKV?
MKV
MKV video consists of thousands of encoded frames displayed sequentially at standard framerates. Image formats represent single static frames. Extracting images from MKV means selecting specific frames from the continuous sequence—keyframes for quality or arbitrary frames for thumbnails. This is frame extraction from temporal video data.
- MKV stores sequential frames at 24-60fps, enabling frame extraction as images
- Frame rate (24-60fps) means hundreds of images extractable per second
- Each frame at video resolution (720p-4K) becomes individual TIF image
