MP3 is nothing a compressed music and audio files. MP4 is the video version. MP4 has another name, MPEG-4 AVC or advanced video coding. This is relatively a new technology. It can be easy to work with as all the video files are decreased in size, a compressed version.

These compressed files are complex, because even though they are very small files the quality is not effected, the issue is with specific coding, minimizing aspects, spatial redundancies and transformation of motion and intra estimation into the frequency domain. The process of compression and decompression is known as codec.

MP4 is simple to use. Buy an MP4 and attach to your computer, notebook or television and bingo your video is playing!

MP4s can produce up to 1Mbps DVD quality videos. It’s easier to download films from internet.

One of the drawback of MP4s is as it was in the case of MP3 is the piracy. Also the time taken to download file to MP4 will take the same time as it was with any other version.
