special relativity - Is $E^2=(mc^2)^2+(pc)^2$ correct, or is $E=mc^2$ the correct one?


I have been having trouble distinguishing these two equations and figuring out which one is correct. I have watched a video that says that $E^2=(mc^2)^2+(pc)^2$ is correct, but I do not know why. It says that $E=mc^2$ is the equation for objects that are not moving and that$ E^2=(mc^2)^2+(pc)^2$is for objects that are moving. Here is the link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnMIhxWRGNw
