Their compression method is totally different and their original purposes are totally different.

MPEG-2 Video is used as a native format in TV studios(== news programs, etc are shot _directly_ into MPEG-2 format), in digital TV (the broadcast is in MPEG-2 with DTV), in DVDs, etc..

Meanwhile MPEG-1 Video is used in VideoCDs and in various lower bandwidth purposes. Most popular part of MPEG-1 is propably something what most people know as "MP3" -- MPEG-1 Audio Layer III, which is one part of MPEG-1's audio specs.
