Here's my 2 guesses.
You don't have the DVD Player installed. It contains the MPG2 codec.
MMC isn't shutting down properly. It saves settings when it closes, if it
doesn't close properly the changes won't be there the next time It's run. Do
a Repair &/or Reinstall of MMC.

To get mpeg2, you must have a DVD software app installed and registered in
the Windows registry on your system so that the ATI install can see it and
open up the ability to record in mpeg2.
