MPEG4...

I know this will be a very difficult question to answer, but here it goes.

I have always been interested in video compression.  I am currently trying to get as much information as I can in regards to MPEG4 encoding in VB.NET.  I use 2005.  My question is, is there any step by step guides or sample code for MPEG compression done in VB.NET??  Even if all there was, was for C# at least I woul be able to get a software converter to convert C# to VB.NET.  I welcome information, source code or advice.  I will award points to the individual who can write some sample code or obtain code to compress MPEG video in VB.NET or MPEG4 encoder source code in VB.NET.

Thanks!!!
