Every file is made up of zeroes and ones, what's different between the formats is how those zeroes and ones are interpreted. When you open a mp4 in a text editor what you see is the result of the text editor interpreting the data as if it were text. Since the data doesn't actually represent text, the result is meaningless garbage.
