Is the standard MPEG2 format one file that contains both audio and video, similar to the MPEG1 format of system file (.mpg)?
The standard (we say “compatible”) MPEG1 files are MPEG1 system streams. The compatible MPEG2 files are MPEG2 Program streams. Both may be video only, audio only or video and audio. These are selected from the Make New Clip screen where you select the type and quality of the clip, etc. The audio will be stereo layer 2 audio. As I understand it, MPEG1 compressed files are: Audio only (file extension .abs), Video only (file extension.vbs), System file — containing both Video and Audio (file extension .mpg), and Still Picture(file extension .msp). How does this compare to Telestream’s MPEG1 and MPEG2 formats as well as the standard or compatible MPEG1 and MPEG2 formats? All files created by the Telestream will have the extension of .mpg. This includes MPEG1 and MPEG2 in Telestream or compatible formats. At this point, all files are created as MPEG2 Program streams or MPEG1 System streams regardless if they are video only, audio only or both. Most players (decoders) have no problem with t
