MP4 Playback on PMPs

MPEG-4 was defined by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). The MPEG Group also set up the standards of MPEG-1 and MPEG-2. MPEG-4 delivers high quality of audio and video streams, especially for cell phone and broadband. Besides audio and video, MPEG-4 also supports 3D objects, sprites, text and other media types.

Like MPEG-1 and MPEG-2, MPEG-4 can create interoperability for video delivered over the Internet and other distribution channels. MPEG-4 will play back on many types of devices, such as TV, computer, portable media players, and others.

3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) and 3GPP2 (3rd Generation Partnership Project 2) are based on MPEG-4.

PMP (Portable Media Player) is the multimedia device that can play digital audio, video, images, and even games. Some PMPs also provide functions and access to Internet and WiFi. Notable PMPs include Apple’s iPod, Sony PSP, Archos and Creative Zen.

Nearly PMPs are compatible with the MP3. WMA, AAC and WAV are adopted by different PMP vendors. iPod and the PSP support the MPEG-4 video format, and some other players are compatible with the WMV format and AVI.

MPEG-4 is able to render DVD-quality video (MPEG-2) and remain lower data rates and smaller file sizes at the meantime. MPEG-4 adopts AAC instead of MP3 as the audio codec. That’s because AAC can offer much more efficient compression than MP3.

MPEG-4 is ready to stream incredible-quality audio and video today in QuickTime. With the free QuickTime Player or browser plug-in, you can play back any compliant MPEG-4 file. Upgrade to QuickTime Pro, and you can author your own MPEG-4 content. Inheriting QuickTime’s stability, extensibility and scalability, MPEG-4 can transport media at any data rate, from media suitable for delivery over dial-up modems to high-bandwidth networks.

Based on MPEG-4 standard, Apple has developed its own video codecs, MPEG-4 part 2 and MPEG-4 part 10 (H.264). H.264 provides incredible video quality from the least amount of video data. H.264 delivers the same quality as MPEG-2 at a third to a half the data rate, while providing up to four times the resolution of MPEG-4 Part 2 at the same data rate. H.264 video has been adopted by the ISO MPEG allowing QuickTime 7 to create ISO-complaint H.264 video in a .MP4 file.
