The difference between MJPEG A and MJPEG B is that MJPEG A supports markers in the bitstream whereas MJPEG B does not. Photo JPEG is frame-based, according to the QuickTime specification. To make things confusing, you sometimes see MJPEG A and MJPEG B also allowing frame-based compression. This is the case in Adobe Premiere for instance. (http://w2.alkit.se/servo/servofiles/) Andras
