An MP4 file is a modern standard format for storing high-quality motion video in a highly compact and efficient file size. The specific compression algorithm used within an MP4 file can vary from file to file; however, they all enable what would otherwise be a large amount of uncompressed data to be reduced to a fraction of the original size with little or no noticeable difference in playback quality.

Due to their widespread support, MP4 files can be loaded into most video editing applications and played with most video playback software with no additional drivers. Most video sharing sites, such as YouTube, support MP4 as a format when uploading, and most tablets and smart phones can record in the MP4 format.

Audio stored within an MP4 file is usually stored in the MP3 format, taking advantage of that format's high quality and compression capabilities.

Extension	M4A
Full Name	Audio-only MPEG-4
Type	Audio
Mime Type	audio/m4a

An M4A file is an Apple-developed extension of the existing MP4 file format with some added extra features centred around its audio capability. As this is an Apple-sponsored file format, it has native support for many Apple devices, including iPhones and iPads.

Although it is essentially an extension of MP4, the M4A format allows for improved audio capabilities. One of these is support for the AAC audio format, enabling higher audio compression rates while not sacrificing quality.

Support for M4A is provided by most video and audio editing packages, while playback of M4A files has widespread support amongst not only Apple devices but also Android and Windows too.
