Whats the difference between Mpg1 and Mpeg2?
i think it has to do wit quality and size of the file
MPEG-1: Initial video and audio compression standard. Later used as the standard for Video CD, and includes the popular Layer 3 (MP3) audio compression format.
MPEG-1
An ISO/IEC (International Organization for Standardization/ International Electrotechnical Commission) standard for medium quality and medium bitrate video and audio compression. It allows video to be compressed by the ratios in the range of 50:1 to 100:1, depending on image sequence type and desired quality. The encoded data rate is targeted at 1.5Mb/s - this was a reasonable transfer rate of a double-speed CD-ROM player (including audio and video). VHS-quality playback is expected from this level of compression. The Motion Picture Expert Group (MPEG) also established the MPEG-2 standard for high-quality video playback at a higher data rates. MPEG-1 is used in encoding video for VCD.
MPEG-2
An encoding standard designed as an extension of the MPEG-1 international standard for digital compression of audio and video signals. MPEG-1 was designed to code progressively scanned video at bit rates up to about 1.5 Mbit/s for applications such as CD-i. MPEG-2 is directed at broadcast formats at higher data rates; it provides increased support for efficiently coding interlaced video, supports a wide range of bit rates and provides for multichannel surround sound coding such as PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio.
MPEG-2: Video and audio standards for broadcast-quality television. Used for digital satellite TV services like DirectTV, digital cable television signals, and (with slight modifications) for DVD video discs.

So essentially they are the same, just better quality. if burning Mpeg2 to a dvd, it would take up more space but be better quality.
Cool, I thought it was a region thing, where a dvd from Canada could not play it.
Am I right in thinking that I can just burn it regular to dvd and play it no prob?

Learn more here, lots of info there.

Basically mpeg 1 is older version, mpeg 2 is a newer and more improved version.
