Table 1. MPEG encoder and container descriptions
MPEG4 – MP4
MPEG-4 Part 2 is for situations where low bit rate and low resolution are
mandated by other conditions of the applications, such as network
bandwidth or device size. Examples of video applications for MPEG-4 are
cell phones, some low-end video conferencing systems, and surveillance
systems. MPEG-4 is important for legacy handheld devices that do not
support H.264.
H264 – MP4
H.264, MPEG-4 Part 10, or AVC (Advanced Video Coding) was designed
for high data compression while maintaining better quality than its
predecessor, H.263. It also addresses a broad range of applications from
low bit rate to high bit rate and from low resolution such as cell phones
to high resolution such as broadcast.
MPEG-TS
MPEG transport stream is a standard format for transmission and storage
of audio, video, and Program and System Information Protocol (PSIP)
data. It is used in broadcast systems such as DVB, ATSC and IPTV.
H.264-TS
H.264 encoding provided a MPEG-2 transport stream (TS) container.
The Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) defined 3GP as a multimedia container
format for use on 3G mobile phones. It stores video streams such as MPEG-4 or H.264 and
audio streams such as AAC.
This format has two defined standards:
 3GPP for GSM-based mobile phones
 3GPP2 for CDMA-based mobile phones
This setting creates an H.263 stream stored in a 3GPP container.
H264 – 3GP
This setting creates an H.264 stream stored in a 3GP container.
H264 – 3G2
This setting creates an H.264 stream stored in a 3G2 container.
MPEG4 – 3GP
This setting creates an MPEG-4 stream stored in a 3GP container.
MPEG4 – 3G2
This setting creates an MPEG-4 stream stored in a 3G2 container.
H263 – 3GP
This setting creates an H.263 stream stored in a 3GP container.
H263 – 3G2
This setting creates an H.263 stream stored in a 3G2 container.
