Convert MP4 to IFO

Understanding MP4 and IFO file formats

The MP4 file format, also known as MPEG-4 Part 14, is a digital multimedia container format most commonly used to store video and audio. It can also store other data such as subtitles and still images. MP4 is widely used due to its high compression and compatibility with various devices and platforms.

The IFO file format is associated with DVDs and contains information about the disc's structure, such as chapters, subtitles, and audio tracks. IFO files work in conjunction with VOB and BUP files to provide a complete DVD playback experience.
