MPEG4 involves many encoder specs. MPEG4 part 2 will look very bad compared to MPEG4 part 10 (H.264).
At matching bit rates the quality likely won’t even be close. -

August 16, 2013 at 12:21 amSure, but for thomas’s purposes, h264 is in the MPEG family – so he can use it for a site that specifies it wants some form of MPEG compression. He’ll probably have to use the MP4 extension/wrapper. Is that correct? I’m not sure what are you adding here?

August 16, 2013 at 12:24 amThank you so much, Marc for the detailed reply. I had watched a few youtube vids, but turns out the info was not helpful. I think my not knowing about the possibility of using h264 to get to mpeg was the issue!

August 16, 2013 at 2:36 amThe older MPEG is horrible quality compared to H.264. It’s been retired from common use years ago. There’s really no reason to use it.

August 16, 2013 at 2:41 amI used h264. Streaming. Restrict to 2400 kbits/sec.
best quality. File Format: Quicktime movie. Changed the extension to mp4.
