The MP4 file format and the .mp4 filename extension refer to the MPEG-4 part 14 digital multimedia format developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group. It is used as a multimedia container to wrap encoded digital video and audio streams, including subtitles and still images if required. In recent decades, the format has been popularized as one of the main standards for streaming media over the internet and other computer networks and for the digital distribution of large multimedia files. MP4 supports a large number of compression audio codecs allowing files in this format to maintain a relatively small size without discounting playback quality.

.DV file formats make use of intra-frame compression to simplify the work of video editing. Intra-frame compression is the process of taking still images and playing them one after the other. In addition, the file format is still intensive in matters of memory storage. A 5-minute video clip can take up to a gigabyte of memory.
The MPEG-4 Part 14 is standardized as part of the MPEG-4 format in ISO/IEC 14496-14:2003. It is recognized as a container format for audio and video streams and references several filename extensions of which .mp4 is one. The MPEG-4 Part 14 is in many ways identical to Apple's QuickTime format which formed the basis of MPEG-4. However, there are slight differences in compatibility with other previously standardized MPEG features and the added support for IOD or initial object descriptors which describe elementary data streams and set profile information of the resources needed for content playback.
