Convert MPG to MP4
What is MPG?
MPG
MPG uses MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 compression standards. MPEG-1 for VCD (352x240), MPEG-2 for DVD (720x480/576). Legacy format with wide compatibility but larger file sizes than modern H.264/H.265 codecs. Converting to modern formats involves re-encoding for better compression efficiency.
- MPG uses codec codec in container container format
What is MP4?
MP4
MP4 uses MPEG-4 Part 14 container format standardized as ISO/IEC 14496-14. Stores H.264/AVC or H.265/HEVC video codecs with AAC audio compression. Supports multiple video/audio streams, subtitles (SRT, VTT), chapter markers, and metadata. Enables progressive download for streaming. Converting between video formats involves remuxing containers or re-encoding codecs while preserving temporal synchronization and aspect ratios.
