Where Is MP4? - Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier, NewsFactor Network
Although MP4 does not get the kind of press that prior standards have received, it is alive and well. Apple's QuickTime supports it, and several other products also use the standard. It is a rare day when MP3s are not mentioned in a major newspaper. The format is not only a technical success, but also the center of a firestorm of political activity as intellectual property guardians square off against file-sharing advocates. Is there a follow-up to this audio format that has taken the world by storm? As a matter of fact, there is. It is called MPEG-4 -- MP4 for short -- and a number of companies and projects are already using it.
