Why doesn the VIDEO4 use MPEG4 or H.264?
MPEG2 was primarily chosen in order to make the VIDEO4 compatible with the DVD standard. Contrary to some reports, MPEG4 does not offer any significant advantage over MPEG2 and hence is not widely used in professional applications. The newer H264 does certainly offer significant benefits in terms of compression, but it is far slower to encode and decode.
