Convert MPEG to MKV
What is MPEG?
MPEG
MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) encompasses video compression standards from MPEG-1 through MPEG-4. Uses predictive compression with I/P/B frames. MPEG-2 is DVD standard; MPEG-4 Part 10 is H.264. Converting between MPEG variants involves codec transcoding.
- MPEG uses codec codec in container container format
What is MKV?
MKV
MKV (Matroska) is an open-source container format supporting unlimited video, audio, and subtitle tracks in a single file. Handles virtually any codec including H.264, H.265, VP9, AV1. Maximum file size 1 exabyte. Supports chapter markers, metadata, and attachments like fonts. Ideal for high-quality video archival. Converting to other formats involves remuxing or re-encoding depending on target compatibility.
- MKV uses H.264/H.265/VP9 codec in Matroska container format
