What is a .mp4 file?
MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is a widely supported multimedia container based on ISOBMFF that holds video, audio, subtitles, and metadata, most commonly H.264 or H.265 video with AAC audio. It supports streaming, chapters, and multiple tracks. It is the dominant format for distributing and playing digital video.
How to use this file
Use an example MP4 to test container demuxing, track and codec detection, seeking and streaming, and transcoding or thumbnail-extraction pipelines.
