For example, MP4 is a container, and can hold different types of video compression, for example, MPEG-2 Part 2, MPEG-4 AVC, or HEVC, as well as audio (again compressed in a variety of formats) and metadata (for example subtitles). NOTE: It's important to distinguish between file container formats and compression formats, or codecs. You might want to convert MPG files to MP4 because MP4 is more widely supported. Although the format is lossy, this enables small file sizes, whilst retaining a good level of video quality. MP4 is an international standard and probably the most popular video and audio file container at present, with native support in Windows, Macs, iOS, and Android devices. Video compression formats MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 are generally used, with resolutions up to 720i, which has now been superseded by MPEG-4 Part 2, which is stored in the container format MP4. The video container format MPEG, written MPG back when Windows could only handle 3 letter file extensions, is abbreviated from Motion Picture Experts Group.
