I was suspicious enough of your results that I decided to try it myself.

I encoded MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 video with audio into a MPEG container,
uninstalled all codecs installed on my Windows 2000 test box,
installed the latest media players, and tried both formats.

Quicktime plays MPEG-1 and MPEG-2
RealPlayer plays MPEG-1, needs MPEG-2 codec
WM Player plays MPEG-1, needs MPEG-2 codec
