    Mp4 is the standard for high-def broadcasts in the US and the major format being used by next-gen, HD-DVD and BlueRay, optical media. Examples of Mpeg-4 video codecs are: Divx, AVC, and VC-1 (WMV9-HD).

    AAC (MPEG4-AAC) is the format choosen for Mp4-Audio. A raw AAC file and a Mp4 (.m4a) file are identical in terms of sound quality. The Mp4 container allows the file to be read by MPEG4-AAC compatible apps.

    Anyway, dBpowerAMP can convert to AAC (MPEG-2 or MPEG-4) and Mp4 (.m4a) but only with the correct plug-in installed.

    I thought the new HD-DVD's and Blue-Rays were still stuck on MPEG-2. I thoiught for sure I read that. Now I think some are trying to get them to use MPEG-4, but I think the same old MPEG-2 is the standard.

    Never mind, I see. Blue-Ray and HD-DVD are using MPEG-2, but also MPEG-4 and VC-1. VC-1 is the new name for Microsoft's Media Player 9 format, right?
