The Apple Corporation themselves describes MP4 as "the global multimedia standard, delivering professional-quality audio and video streams over a wide range of bandwidths, from cell phone to broadband and beyond". Thy go on to say that "hundreds of researchers around the world contributed to MPEG-4, which was finalized in 1998 and became an international standard in 2000".
