RTJPEG isn't compressed so it's quality should be quite good (depending on your original recording, of course), but it uses up a lot of disk space. MPEG4, however, is compressed so some quality might be lost but it uses a lot less disk space. Also, because MPEG4 has to handle compression it can chew CPU more than RTJPEG.
