MP4 and OGG explained
MP4 is a container, not a codec. It usually holds H.264 video and AAC audio, and that specific combination is the closest thing the internet has to a universal video format.
OGG here means Ogg Vorbis, a royalty-free lossy codec that predates Opus. It is competitive with AAC and remains common in games.
- Where MP4 files come from
- Phone cameras, screen recorders, and every video streaming platform.
- Where OGG is used
- Game audio, Spotify's older streams and open-source projects.
