What is MP4?
MP4 is a popular compressed video format, known as the MPEG-4 standard providing a way to store DVD quality movies at a very small size. Most of the time when you find a file with the extension of MP4 or m4v, then they usually have both the audio and video streams. The file type for PSP video is MP4 (480 x 272 MPEG-4 video + AAC).
What is M4A?
M4A stands for MPEG-4 Audio, and it is a popular audio file format. Most people are familiar with MP3 and how it shrinks down the file size of songs and other audio files. M4A does the same thing as MP3 does, but even better. Quality is better and file sizes are usually smaller than MP3 files.
What is the difference between M4A and MP4 files?
The existance of 2 different file extensions that can be used to represent MPEG 4 Audio files is unfortunate. MP4 files may or may not contain MPEG 4 Audio. If you see a M4A file you always know that it contains only MPEG 4 Audio. MP4 can be used for MPEG 4 video files, combined video and audio files, or just plain MPEG 4 audio. It is recommended that you use the .m4a file extension rather than .mp4 on your audio files.
