.MP4 (MPEG Audio Layer 4) is a multimedia container format, and is often used to store digital audio/video streams. The MP4 format can hold many different types of data such as audio, video, pictures and even text.

As the file is a container/wrapper format, it can potentially store any number of files making it ideal for holding video with subtitles or enhanced podcasts with pictures.

If you need to create MP4 files, you can use mp4UI. If you just want to play the MP4 file, you'll need the MP4 codec from http//www.free-codecs.com/

that means converting from one extension to other with keeping sound and movie as same when recorded.

Can I store two different video types in the same file? I mean like one encoded with h264 and another with h263. I want them to be stored in the same file to do some experiment.
