MPEG
MPEG is used to store films and movies. You can upload MPEG videos to Facebook and YouTube but not to mobile-based social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. VLC is the best media player to play MPEG videos but they cannot be opened on QuickTime.
MPEG stands for Moving Pictures Expert Group. They are usually compressed as MPEG2 or MPEG4, which makes them quicker to download and easier to stream. Videos stored as MPEG are of a higher quality than rivaling formats, as they can compress data at a higher rate. MPEG4 files are best for mobile devices as they are compressed into smaller file sizes than MPEG2.
MP4
MP4 is one of the most compatible video file formats. You can upload MP4 files to YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, and other social media sites. You can also play MP4 files with Windows Media Player, VLC, QuickTime, iPhone, iPad, Android, and almost all media players.
MP4 files are popular because they can be viewed almost anywhere, and even with high-quality video, the file sizes remain relatively small, making them easy to share. MP4 is short for 'MPEG4', and is a format that normally contains video and audio, but can also be used to store images and subtitles.
