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.
One trick I found, which I was surprised at, was that you seem to be
able to 'cat' several mpeg files together into one and a player will
happily play the entirety of the subsequent file. Weird; I mean most
formats expect a single header and some data, but mpeg seems to be able
to cope just fine with lots of header and data segments.
No, some *players* can cope with this. The resulting file is *not*
compliant and this is not a recommended practice.
