GIF

Graphical Interchange Format File

The .gif filename extension refers to the GIF graphical file format created by CompuServe in 1987. The format is from the class of raster graphics which uses a dot matrix type data structure of orthogonally placed pixels, each with their own color information. The file format has a rich history of usage in storing sprite data for video games especially those released in the early 90's. The GIF format has also been used in low-resolution animation clips distributed over the internet, and in design of sharp-edged art that utilize a palette of a few colors up to a max of 256 colors. The GIF file format has its advantage in its compression technique, which limits file size but does not compromise image quality. The file format natively opens on many of the popular web browsers.
MP4

MPEG-4 Video File

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.

The GIF format is formally specified in the GIF89a Specification released in 1989 and maintained by the World Wide Web consortium. The format uses the Lempel-Ziv-Welch data compression algorithm to create a single lossless file of multiple images known as frames. The GIF file format has a structure of blocks composed of control, graphics rendering, and special purpose blocks. The blocks begin with the header block, followed by the logical screen descriptor block, the graphic control block with the actual image and or text, and finally the gif trailer marking the end of the file.

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.
