How to Use MystiQ on Linux

Advancements in audio and video capturing technologies have led to different methods of encoding these audio and video files into efficient and portable formats.

Despite the numerous types, audio and video formats have the common purpose of saving information in a retrievable manner without experiencing any corruption in data over a long period of time.

Regardless of this, you might find yourself wanting to save your media in a different format. This might be for various reasons.
