What is MP4?
MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is the near-universal digital multimedia container, standardized by ISO/IEC in 2001 and based on Apple's QuickTime file format. It typically holds H.264 or H.265 video with AAC audio and is the default output of most phones, cameras and video platforms, which makes it the most common video file people encounter.
MP4 was developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (ISO/IEC).
