Noone calls MPEG-4 Part 2 "MP4". Usually it's MPEG-4 Video, MPEG-4 ASP, or (when using that encoder) Xvid.


> Noone calls...

Let each of them know, please, that I and my compadres apologize for referring to MPEG-4 Part 2 as MP4 to save time, and refer to the container as MPEG-4 Part 14 to avoid ambiguity. Major faux pas there, how embarrassing, mea culpa, and thank you for taking the time to set us straight by letting us know what every single other person does.
