Table 1. MPEG encoder and container descriptions
MPEG4 – MP4
MPEG-4 Part 2 is for situations where low bit rate and low resolution are
mandated by other conditions of the applications, such as network
bandwidth or device size. Examples of video applications for MPEG-4 are
cell phones, some low-end video conferencing systems, and surveillance
systems. MPEG-4 is important for legacy handheld devices that do not
support H.264.
H264 – MP4
H.264, MPEG-4 Part 10, or AVC (Advanced Video Coding) was designed for
high data compression while maintaining better quality than its
predecessor, H.263. It also addresses a broad range of applications from
low bit rate to high bit rate and from low resolution such as cell phones to
high resolution such as broadcast.
Niagara SCX’s H.264 is Baseline Profile.
The Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) defined 3GP as a multimedia container
format for use on 3G mobile phones. It stores video streams such as MPEG-4 or H.264 and
audio streams such as AAC.
This format has two defined standards:
3GPP for GSM-based mobile phones
3GPP2 for CDMA-based mobile phones
This setting creates an H.263 stream stored in a 3GPP container.
H264 – 3GP
This setting creates an H.264 stream stored in a 3GP container.
H264 – 3G2
This setting creates an H.264 stream stored in a 3G2 container.
MPEG4 – 3GP
This setting creates an MPEG-4 stream stored in a 3GP container.
MPEG4 – 3G2
This setting creates an MPEG-4 stream stored in a 3G2 container.
H263 – 3GP
This setting creates an H.263 stream stored in a 3GP container.
H263 – 3G2
This setting creates an H.263 stream stored in a 3G2 container.

IMPORTANT! You must select container type 3GP or 3G2 on the Output tab before video
encoder H263 will appear on video tab.
