I didn't know that. When you say format, is it the same as a container?
And do you have a idea whether or not not most movie players should be
able to play a MPEG-4 video muxed into MPEG?
How come not many people use MPEG to mux their videos?

Sorry, I don't see the problem in the test you quoted. Maybe you'd prefer:

+  <application>MEncoder</application> is currently only able to output
+  a video stream into MPEG and AVI container formats.

If it's still not correct, please suggest a better wording.
