I know the difference between MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 encoding, but not about transport streams. Anyone like to educate me on transport streams or give me a good source for reading about them?

I deal with MPEG-4 all the time. In MPEG-2 transport streams. you do not need to inform me, Craig. Your intentions need to be directed to the "I don't understand the technology but I can try to sound like I do" types hereabouts. Two names on the list are a Bob and a Tom.
