Convert IMG to MP4

Understanding IMG and MP4 file formats

The IMG file format is typically used for disk images, which are exact copies of a disk volume or an entire data storage device. These files can contain the complete structure and content of a disk, including its file system. On the other hand, the MP4 file format is a digital multimedia container format most commonly used to store video and audio, but it can also be used to store other data such as subtitles and still images.
