What is MP4?
MP4, or MPEG-4 Part 14, is a widely used digital multimedia container format. It can store video, audio, subtitles, and still images in a single file. MP4 is highly compatible across different devices and platforms, making it a popular choice for streaming, downloading, and sharing videos. It typically uses the H.264 or H.265 codecs for video compression, balancing quality and file size efficiently.
What is 3GP?
3GP is a multimedia container format designed for use on mobile phones and other low-bandwidth devices. It is a simplified version of the MP4 format, optimized to reduce file size for easier storage and faster streaming on mobile networks. 3GP typically stores video encoded with the H.263 or H.264 codec and audio with AMR or AAC codecs. It was widely used in older mobile phones for video recording and playback.
