I want to learn methods for data compression, also how to convert video from MP3 to MP4. Does it depend on bit manipulations? If yes, how?

A:
If you're using a computer, everything depends on bit manipulation.
That said, there's no clean conversion between MPEG layer 3 and MPEG layer 4. They're different compression schemes. The exact differences come down to a lot of very complex mathematics that requires an advanced background in mathematics and a lot of quality time with the standards.
Good luck and good reading.

A:
The field of compression is quite large. Text compression is substantially different from image/video lossy/lossless compression which are different from sound lossy/lossless compression.
Pretty much everything in CS depends on bit manipulations. Use codecs I'd say.
