Description
We already have this format:
<objectFormat>
<formatId>video/mpeg</formatId>
<formatName>MPEG-1 Video</formatName>
<formatType>DATA</formatType>
<mediaType name="video/mpeg"/>
<extension>mpg</extension>
</objectFormat>
It clearly says MPEG-1 Video but there is also an MPEG-2 format. It'd be useful to have a proper format ID to use for MPEG-2 video. The info for MPEG-2 is largely the same as for MPEG-1 (format type, mediaType, extension). Should we add a new format or just update the description of the existing one? We also have an MP4 format type so maybe that'd be a reason to just add another to cover MPEG-2.

I'd suggest we add new format types for the various MPEG standards (1, 2, 4). We'll need to evaluate the IANA registry and see how they are differentiated with media types.
