Convert WMV to MPG
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.

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.
