The videos downloaded online are in .flv or .mp4 format, which don't play on my Phillips DVD player. I have to convert them to .mpg format, but there are some options such as mpg-1, mpg-2, svcd, ntsc dvd etc. Which is the best format that gives highest video quality? What is the essential differences among them?

Downloading videos from sites online is explicitly forbidden unless released under a permissive license. Assuming that you download only those videos which are specifically released under permissive license, you can use www,converttube.com to dload and connvert Youtube videos.
