We actually had to do a research paper on MPEG4 last year for school, so the technology has been known about for a while. MPEG4 was created to replace the old MPEG2 (which is used for most DVD's)
So yes the bulk of the compression technology is meant for video / 3D. ya that's right 3D. There is some sort of syncronization technology that works directly with 3D. there is also TTS (text-to-speech), and the TTS and 3D are meant to work together to create something like anna nova, but ... well...... better
In fact someone mentioned DivX, DivX actually uses a 'near to' mp4 technology.
and of course there will be crazy audio compression that comes with it as well. Such as the new 'silence compression' which will lower the bitrate of silent parts, and new algorithms which will eliminate sounds inaudible to the human ear.
so no it won't compare to a live performance, or raw studio tape if you're looking for true quality, but I'm sure it'll kick mp3's ass
and ya this is all from research I did last year so things have without a doubt have changed since then, so don't kill the messenger. I'm too young to die..... now where's my vicodin
