About The MP4 Format

MP4 is based on the ISO/IEC 14496-12 standard. It very efficiently encapsulates video, audio, subtitles and other things like metadata within the flexible container. It also employs advanced compression codecs to make file sizes smaller while at the same time maintaining high quality playback. Since it also supports things like streaming through adaptive bitrate technologies, MP4 efficiently can be delivered across different network conditions. Another great aspect is its widespread compatibility with operating systems, browsers and physical hardware. This makes it an industry standard when it comes to digital video distribution.

About The MP3 Format

MP3 is by far one of the most popular audio compression formats. It reduces the file size of audio files while at the same time aiming to maintain good sound quality. It does this through the use of lossy compression. It removes inaudible frequencies and uses perceptual coding techniques. MP3 is mainly used for online music streaming, audio file storage and online distribution like audio file downloads. The MP3 format supports sample rates such as 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, and 48 kHz commonly used in digital audio. Its decoding process reconstructs the audio waveform from quantized frequency components produced during compression.
