Convert MPG to M4A
What is MPG?
MPG
MPG containers store MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video with audio tracks (MP2 or AC3). Extracting audio means demultiplexing—isolating the audio stream from video data. Audio quality depends on the original encoding, typically DVD-quality.
- MPG combines video and audio streams in a container, allowing audio track extraction
- Contains separate audio track easily extracted to M4A format
- Video stream discarded—only audio codec and bitrate matter
What is M4A?
M4A
M4A is audio-only container without video streams. Video requires visual frame sequences. M4A lacks video data—creating video from M4A audio requires adding visual elements like static images, album artwork, waveform animations, or lyric displays. This requires video editing software combining audio with generated or imported visuals.
- M4A contains pure audio data requiring video track addition for video output
