The computational effort employed in the manipulation of MPEG-4 videos is still greater than that required in the MPEG-2 format, which demands more powerful hardware. MPEG-4 is a more advanced standard than MPEG-2. Besides the improvements in the compression processes, which are observed on smaller files compressed without apparent quality loss, it also accepts the use of other media types interacting with the video, such as texts and digital photos, for example, activated by intelligent menus.
