MP4 Audio Format: AAC

Was originally an audio format MP4, and MPEG-4 there is no significant
relationship, just as MP3 and MPEG-3 has nothing to do the same. MP3
is MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 of the abbreviation; while MP4 is the MPEG-2
AAC, because it is completely an audio compression format, an increase
of such a perfect reproduction of the stereo, multimedia control,
noise reduction and other new features, the most important Shi, MP4
through special digital copyright protection technology, which is
unmatched by MP3.

Video MP4 format: MPEG-4

The majority of the market is now biased in favor of MP4 multimedia
player that can play AAC, and it can be said scarcer. And even the
media MP4 said to be MPEG4 acronym, which in the past appears to be a
fallacy, but after continued speculation business, this fallacy has
become the truth. Now, if you go to Computer City to hear the word MP4
definitely be able to play video format the concept of a multimedia
player, and not be able to play the MP4 AAC audio player. This strange
phenomenon occurs not without reason, as already mentioned, AAC
copyright protection function, which is a number of record company
support the AAC cause, to make your own player supports AAC, have to
pay a copyright fee to support or patent fee, and, AAC is also the
source of the problem, unlike MP3 less open, on-line source rare, we
now have audio MP4 player development can not be, in view of the
status quo, public businesses simply \"reincarnated\" to MP4
equivalent to MPEG-4 abbreviated terms, this also happens to be the
next generation of MP4 is the MP3 of this law, in addition to support
for MP3 music playback capabilities possessed, but also has a powerful
MPEG-4 video playback capabilities, In addition, just \"4\" in the \"3
\"post, from this point of view, the MP4 equivalent MPEG-4 is
reasonable.

MPEG-4 encoding and format of MP4 Player supported encoding formats
can be called \"the disorder of chaos\", in addition to PMC, because
of the hardware platform is no uniform standard, the software system
is also designed by the manufacturer, which is caused by decoding MP4
player compatibility and decoding the stability of the root causes of
uneven; In addition, by the MPEG-4 encoding system and seen
generations come out a lot of formats, in addition to PMC beyond MP4,
decoder compatibility and hardware-related, which has greatly
increased the difficulty of decoding, video format, originally For
example, the multi-AVI, ASF, MPG, WMV, coupled with multi-coding
algorithm: MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, but most of MP4 player supports
MPEG-4 encoding, there are a variety of derivative coding algorithm:
DivX, XviD, H.263, MS MPEG-4 3688, Microsoft Video1, Microsoft RLE.

Quoted from http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=96059

videoformats XviD, DivX are imp-lemetation
of MPEG-4 ASP resp. MPEG-4 Part 2

videoformat H264 or often called just MPEG-4
is MPEG-4 AVC or MPEG-4 Part 10

MP4 as file format
or more exactly multimedia container specification
is MPEG-4 Part 14.

audio in AAC format is MPEG-4 Part 3
