Found this on a516digital's website regarding a teaser for FreeSports HD:

Meanwhile, fans are petitioning Virgin Media to get the channel on cable - it's the biggest TV platform that currently doesn't carry the channel. With news that Virgin is transitioning its channels from MPEG2 to the more efficient MPEG4 standard, there should be enough bandwidth for the channel..

Please can someone explain what the transition to MPEG4 means. I'm confused.
