MPEG-2 Or MPEG-4?
Which produces the greatest quality when burning a home video which is 1080p and will be watched on large television?

MPEG-2 is the native DVD video format
MPEG-4 is the native Bluray video format MPEG-4 would give you a better picture quality if the original source was 1080p and you've got a Bluray player, if you've only got a DVD writer then you'll be stuck at MEPG-2 However if you have a Smart TV with a USB Port you may be able to play a MEG-4 file via that rather than burning a disc. |

It is likely your DVD recorder will write MPEG2.
Is this really what you want to use? What might be better is MPEG4 on your compluter and then connecting your computer to the TV to watch. Or on a USB stick if your TV has a USB slot - or any other media server you have. TBH - DVD quality has had its day - especially on bigger TVs. |

Can you burn MPEG-4 files to DVD?
Also I noticed on new laptops that they don’t have DVD writers anymore so how do you display your home movies?

install VLC to play files. it should be able to play anything you throw at it
videolan if youre burning a video DVD, the maximum resolution is only 480p (720 x 480) so would need downscaling from 1080p. if this is the case, then mpeg2 is fine. but if you want to keep it hi def, youre going to have to ditch the dvd format. to keep at 1080p, you may as well use mpeg4. you can then copy the file to a usb stick, or save it to a (data) DVDR - you won't be able to play the file on a standard dvd player, but you *might* be able to play it on a blu ray player if the player supports data dvds and mp4 files rather than fully authored BD discs. this hopefully explains the difference between data and video DVD - blog.mitchcommgroup/tyson...and-a-data-dvd |
