What are the elements of the Dihedral Group $D_8$ when given by $D_8 = \langle a, b \mid a^2 = b^2 = (ab)^4=1\rangle?$

I'm very confused since I've always seen the Dihedral Group $D_8$ given as

$$D_8 = \langle a, b \mid a^4 = b^2 =1, ab= a^3b\rangle.$$

I'm given the Definition

$$D_8 = \langle a, b \mid a^2 = b^2 = (ab)^4=1\rangle.$$

I want to figure out the elements based on this definition but I don't understand how these definitions differ. I would be incredibly grateful for your help!
