  Give me a high-quality mpeg1 video you have, and I will try to convert
it to mpeg4 preserving the same image quality as much as possible. If
I don't succeed in doing that, or if the resulting file size is not
significantly smaller, I will concede that in some cases mpeg4 does not
beat mpeg1.

  Preferably live video, which is what mpeg4 is best suited for. (Video
which has very sharp contrast, for example cartoons or certain rendered
animations, can also be compressed well with mpeg4, but it usually requires
a lot more fine-tuning of the parameters.)
