Even though MP4 is smaller in size, it can still retain high-quality resolution. This depends on the compression settings that you choose when you reduce the size of an MP4 file.

Is AVI larger than MP4?

While AVI is also a popular video format, it is much larger in file size than an MP4. If you want to compress your AVI files, you can convert them to MP4 using VEED’s video converter.

Is MPEG-4 the same as MP4?

No, they are not the same. It’s easy to confuse the two because it sounds like MP4 is just short for MPEG-4 but it’s more complex than that. MPEG-4 is a video codec—a program that compresses videos to manageable sizes, and MP4 is a container format. This means that it can ‘contain’ other tracks such as subtitle tracks, soundtracks, images, etc. MP4 does stand for MPEG-4 but it only applies to MPEG-4 Part 14 which has the .mp4 extension on its filename. It has become the most popular and most supported format, compatible with all media players.
