Hi,

MPEG-4 uses a higher compression than MPEG-2. For the same quality you will need less bitrate. It's used for videos to download from the internet. Quality is ok and file size is small so it's sorta download-friendly.

Video CD uses MPEG-1.
Super Video CD uses MPEG-2.
DVD uses MPEG-2.

To encode AVI to MPEG you need an MPEG encoder, like TMPGEnc ( www.tmpgnec.net ).
