After that, I used a video converter program to
convert from mp4 to mpg.
They apparently are different formats.
The mpg extension doesn't (I don't
THINK) designate mpg1, mpg2, mpg3, or
mpg4. It just designates any of the above (much like a .wav file can have
several different bitrates used for recording but they are all usually named
.wav). I think files you download with the mpg or mpeg extension can be any
of the above formats. Perhaps your software uses that to designate which
format, but I think when people distribute them they rename them to the
generic "mpg".
I am not an expert on this either,
but I have done a miniscule amount of dabbling.
I know less than nothing about all
this. I consider anything related to
graphics total black magic and my assertions above are quite possibly
completely incorrect :)
Anyways, I guess I'm going off topic with a discussion of modern video
formats... sorry!
