You're correct about containers though, the OP needs to find out what container format(s) and profile(s) are supported for MPEG-4 video and what bit rates, resolutions, etc. The information is likely on the Internet somewhere

Yaawwwn.... really!!!! ....not interested in a pissing contest, but I said a DVD format, NOT the format for Commercial DVD's.

Also, as I pointed out, he was coding to mp4 which is a computer supported format (and therefore won't work in BMW's), and DIFFERENT to Mpeg4. That is after all what he was trying to figure out and hence the question... Once an Mpeg4 was created they work...... go figure...

Just for your interest......

MPEG4

An ISO/IEC standard 14496 developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG), the committee that also developed MPEG-1 and MPEG-2. These standards made interactive video on CD-ROM, DVD and Digital Television possible. MPEG-4 is the result of another international effort involving hundreds of researchers and engineers from all over the world. MPEG-4 was finalized in October 1998 and became an International Standard in 1999. The fully backward compatible extensions under the title of MPEG-4 Version 2 were frozen at the end of 1999, to acquire the formal International Standard Status early in 2000. Several extensions were added since and work on some specific work-items is still in progress.

MPEG-4 builds on the proven success of three fields:

Digital television
Interactive graphics applications (synthetic content)
Interactive multimedia (World Wide Web, distribution of and access to content)
