Just like MP3s work by compressing music and audio files without affecting the audio quality, MP4 files are compressed video files. MP4 is also known as MPEG-4 AVC, or advanced video coding. This new technology is going to make video files decrease in size so that they are easier to work with and support. What used to be massive video files of motion and audio are now compressed versions of the same material, called MP4s.

I don't have an answer but the same question. We just got a new DVD player and it says one of it's capabilities is it's an mp4 player...I don't even get the mp3 thing yet.

It is a codec used almost exclusively by apple and the i Pod! It is a good way to FORCE you to buy their equipment as only your computer can play it using their codec, or belonging to i Tunes! For me it is a rip off, but hopefully soon their will be a program to break the codec that you can put in other devices like a CD Player
