I understand all of that--I have since the OP posed the question. The OP was not asking about different codecs and how they can be determined by examining the presets. The OP was asking why, when you specify .mp4 as your export format, you do not get an .mp4, but a .3gp.
It is a logical question to ask, yet you seem to want to continue to complicate the matter--despite the question being throughly answered before you chimed in.
Don't bother responding, I don't have time for such foolishness.
Choosing an export format and codec IS complicated. It's what pro editors get paid to do so that their clients get what they asked for.
And although you may understand the difference between file format and video codec, the OP may not.
Despite your attempt at clarification, it's possible from your response you may also miss the subtle distinction between .mp4 the file format and MPEG-4 the codec family. MPEG-4 is a top level export choice in Pr while .mp4 is not. You continue to refer to .mp4 as the export choice, which is incorrect. If there is confusion here, you may be inadvertently adding to it.
Finally, although my response is to you, it may include information that later users will find useful, even if you do not.
