need a final answer

You can compress with h.264 into an .mp4 file format. I don't think you HAVE to use H.264, I think it's the compression that's turning out to be the best, if it's available to you.
 
Just a heads up that the last time some folks used Mpeg-4 (including myself), others had trouble being able to download & view the movie. If you want to make sure yours is as widely accessible as possible, I'd advise the H.264 codec vs. Mpeg-4.

From Wikipedia:
"The ITU-T H.264 standard and the ISO/IEC MPEG-4 Part 10 standard (formally, ISO/IEC 14496-10) are technically identical."


So - I guess the answer to your question is - yes, H.264 is the same as 1 type of MPG-4.
The thing is, there are various parts to the MPG-4 format as I understand it, so it's not as clear cut as 'yes or no.'

Yeah, what he said. :happy: MPG-4 has a bunch of settings, one of which is the h264 setting. But like Norm says, mp4's don't play as universally as you might hope.
