Different types of MPEGS

[jeff100]

I'm guessing this topic has been discussed elsewhere, but the list is too long to try to find out the answer so.. Moderators if it has indeed been posted please email me the link to the tread.

My question is what is the difference between MPEG1 and MPEG2? Are there more types, if so, please list those also. Please be specific in your answers. I appreciate your help!

Thanks,

Jeff

Thanks Truman, I appreciate your help. Anybody have something more simple?

If you look really carefully, on almost? every page here you will see a column of stuff on the left side. An even more careful look will show that right at the top is "WHAT IS" followed by "VCD", "SVCD" etc.

You might try there.

I've already checked there but thanks.

MPG-1 is 352X240 resolution. MPG-2 is 720X480 resolution. You use MPG-1 files for VCD, MPG-2 for DVD. However, MPG-1VCD has to be White book standard which is Video data rate 1124Kbs and frame rate 29.97 fps for NTSC. Audiostereo 224 kbps bit rate.44100 Hz freq.

Errrgh no! Resolution has nothing to do with the differences between MPEG1 and MPEG2.
