MP4, AVI and MPEG are three different digital video formats. All of them widely used in a medium or other format, but are not compatible with each other. MPEG (of which MP4 is actually a version) is the most widely used, but AVI is gaining ground.<\/p>\n

Types<\/strong><\/p>\n

AVI or Audio Video Interleave, is a format developed by Microsoft. MPEG is the common standard format term created by Moving Picture Experts Group.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Differences<\/strong><\/p>\n

AVI can be played in most Windows-based applications, such as Windows Media Player. MPEG works primarily with QuickTime, Apple-based applications and video discs, while MP4 is used primarily with many personal media players such as iPod and PSP.<\/p>\n

ID<\/strong>
\nMP4 is actually MPEG-4, a subset of the MPEG standard. What people usually refer to as MPEG is MPEG-1 or MPEG-2. In contrast, MPEG-3 is not MP3, which is included in MPEG-1.<\/p>\n

Importance<\/strong>
\nMPEG-1 is used with video compact discs (VCD), while higher quality MPEG-2 is used for DVDs.<\/p>\n

Benefits<\/strong>
\nThe biggest difference of MP4 from the other MPEG formats is its ability to save subtitles, still images and other data with digital audio and video.<\/p>\n

Warning<\/strong>
\nSome personal devices can be advertised as “MP4”, using the term colloquial, but they actually play AMV files.<\/p>\n
