About MP4
MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is a container format standardised by ISO. It usually holds H.264 or H.265 video with AAC audio, and it can also carry subtitles and chapter markers.
It is the most widely supported video format: phones, browsers, smart TVs and video sites all play it.
The video inside an MP4 is almost always compressed with a lossy codec, so every re-encode loses a little quality.
