The mp4 format is the next format in line after the mp3. Where mp3 was concerned with music, mp4 is mostly associated with video. With free mp4 downloads available online, portable music and digital media players gained huge popularity, because of the void filled by the mp4 format. Mp4 allows users to store video files on their portable systems without occupying too much space.

Downloading a few favorite movies in mp4 format and storing them on your portable media player can alleviate the boredom you experience during a long journey. You could watch these movies with as much clarity as a DVD can provide. The number of movies you can store on your player depends on the memory capacity of your player. The first step though is to find a suitable source to download these mp4 media.

Mp4 format files, both audio and video can be downloaded for free from hundreds of sites on the internet and stored onto your computer. You can then transfer these files onto the memory on your portable media player. Most of these sites lets you search for the content in their data base or provides download links to the media that is hosted on an online file sharing website such as rapidshare or megaupload.

Most of these free sites have unreliable content in their data bases which might be infected with viruses and Trojans or other forms of malware that could possible harm your computer and your media player once you download and play them. The files that you end up downloading from file hosting websites, the link to which can be found on these free websites, might be more genuine and not harmful.

The other option is to register with one of the many sites that let you have access to their Mp4 content for a monthly fee or a onetime joining fee. The database is bound to be much larger and more refined and ordered and the search facility on these sites would also be top notch. There need not be any fear of downloading infected files either from these premium websites.

If you are looking to freeload and do not want to spend money on buying media for your portable player, then it would be a good idea to explore the possibilities offered by file sharing and peer to peer networks. You can download mp4 files form networks such as kazaa or limewire if you have a client installed on your computer. Here again, there is a possibility of virus or Trojan infection.

You can also download mp4 media from torrent websites by downloading their respective torrent files and using a torrent client such as Bit torrent or u-torrent. It is a safe option as long as you choose a genuine and reputed website that hosts torrent files that are virus free.
