Today it is impossible to imagine any user of the Global network, which would not come across almost daily with multimedia content. The most attractive from the point of view of informativeness and usefulness among such information is a video. TV has faded into the background and, working or having fun, the user is increasingly turning its attention to the video files from the Internet, varieties of formats which, to date, there is a large number.

mpeg4 mp4

Most of all, downloading videos or movies from the Internet, the user has to deal with these types of files, like Mpeg4 and Mp4 are the same thing, many believe. Understand, whether so it actually.

Main difference

In fact, the difference between MP4 and MPEG4 is and it is quite substantial. The main difference is the fact that MPEG4 is a method which is used to compress audio and video. But MP4 is a format of data storage. That is MP4 designed and used as a container that stores audio and/or video data. Thus, the claim that Mpeg4 and Mp4 are the same, is somewhat inaccurate. Let's deal with the purpose of each format.

mpeg4 and mp4 are the same

MPEG-4

The Main purpose of MPEG-4 is using this method of compression in the broadcast, interactive and conversational environments. Application of the standard makes it possible to use audio and/or video content not only on a periodic basis. Additionally, the standard facilitates the integration of content consisting of two channels (audio and video) in one and the same multimedia scene. All this has led to widespread codec in TV and web environments.

MP4

Not to say that Mpeg4 and Mp4 are the same thing for another reason. MPEG-4 and MP4 is two terms that are easily confused with each other, not just because their names differ by only two letters, but for the reason that they are very closely mixed up in the world of a huge number of media files. MPEG4 and MP4 as a container for storing data, widely spread, not least due to the reasonable balance of quality of video and size of the resulting files containing the data.

As for the characteristics of the MP4, it is possible to say that the best ratio among the other decisions between video quality and size has led to the fact that MP4 has become one of the most common file format for storing and transferring multimedia. MP4 is used not only on computers. He gained immense popularity across multiple mobile platforms, smartphones and tablets, including “smart phone” and “the pill” from Apple.

the difference between mp4 and mpeg4

All of the above hardware solutions to receive, store and transmit multimedia content in MP4 file format is used by default. Users who prefer a direct and easy reading, as well as video recording, will always choose MP4, but I can't even know the differences of container is from MPEG-4 and assume that Mpeg4 and Mp4 are the same thing. We can safely say that as a standard video format, MP4 is used almost everywhere, and MPEG-4 is a more specific solution.
