  • Note that I’m not an mp4 expert so this is general advice. You will have text based formats, these can generally be opened in a text editor such as notepad++, you will sometimes have combo formats like docx that are zip files with text readable contents, and then you may have what are called binary blobs.

    Binary blob formats are not encoded in a readable format. To get a feel for how these are encoded you would need to study the format standard and/or use a program to represent the encoding in a way intelligible for you. This is actually a big issue for records management and if you are curious to learn more then look into LOTAR and NARA approved formats.
