Convert MPG to WMV
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 WMV?
WMV
WMV (Windows Media Video) uses Microsoft's ASF (Advanced Systems Format) container with WMV video codec and WMA audio. Optimized for Windows Media Player. Supports DRM protection, streaming, and variable bitrate encoding. Good compression but limited cross-platform compatibility. Converting to modern formats like MP4 typically involves re-encoding for better device support and efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I convert several MPG files to WMV in one go?
Definitely. Free users can convert 3 .mpg files simultaneously. Premium users get 20-file batches with ZIP packaging. All .wmv outputs preserve source quality and metadata.
Where do you store my MPG files?
We don't store MPG files. EU servers (Austria) process WMV conversions then immediately delete data. Files exist only during conversion—5 minutes maximum, often deleted within seconds.
What's the maximum file size for MPG to WMV?
Free tier: 100MB per MPG file. Premium: 500MB per MPG file. For larger MPG files, consider compression before conversion or upgrade to Premium for extended WMV conversion capacity.
How long does MPG to WMV conversion take?
MPG to WMV video conversion takes longer due to frame processing. Small MPG files (under 50MB, ~2-3 minutes) convert in 30-90 seconds. Larger videos require proportionally more time—expect 1-3 minutes for typical files.
