About MP4 Video
MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is the most widely used video container format, supported by virtually every device, browser, and platform. MP4 typically uses H.264 or H.265 video encoding with AAC audio, delivering an excellent balance of quality and file size for streaming, downloads, and playback.
