Generally speaking, it has better compatibility with various software like QuickTime, iMovie or Mac devices like iPad, iPhone 4S,Samsung Galaxy S2, HTC mobile phone, BlackBerry, etc. However, some MP4 source files can't be recognized by FCP directly.

When comes to MPEG2 file format, it is a video compression format that reduces the size and data rate of video files. It is the standard used by DVD players. MPEG-2 reduces the files size by removing redundancy with-in frames and between groups of frames. It has three frames types they are grouped together in a unit know as GOP (Group Of Picture).
