Do all options where no MPEG-4 is mentioned in the manual apply to 
MPEG1 and MPEG2? Could one say, they are (MPEG-) codec independant? I 
know I'm leaving a well known path by using MSMPEGV2 and to put the 
question different: What can I take with me on this journey from what I 
learned the last years encoding with ,,normal'' MPEG-4. I know it is an 
old codec, it does not have a good quality and so on.

So I am on my own...

Does a codec choke if a option is given it does not understand or does 
it ignore it?
