MPEG-4 file format

MP4 (MPEG-4 Video File) is a widely used digital multimedia container format designed to store video, audio, subtitles, and images, offering high compression efficiency and compatibility across devices. It is supported by popular media players like VLC, QuickTime, and Windows Media Player, as well as editing tools such as Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro. The format uses a hierarchical structure with boxes (or atoms) to organize data, supporting advanced features like streaming, metadata embedding, and DRM (Digital Rights Management) for secure content distribution.
