MPG to MP4 converter

MPG is an acronym used for Motion Picture Experts Group's video file format. It is a widely popular digital video format used in the storage and transmission of video content, usually consisting of audio and video streams encapsulated in an MPEG container. It uses a lossy form of compression to reduce the file size without discarding any of the essential components of the original video content.

MPG files can contain both video and audio content. The MPEG-2 standard was used for DVD-Video encoding and for most television broadcasts. The MPEG-4 standard is used for many file-sharing applications such as DivX. MPG file extension can also be used for other types of MPEG compression standards such as Motion JPEG, WMV, H.264 (AVC), etc.

MP4 is a popular digital multimedia container format standardized by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). It stores both audio and video streams in compressed form, including subtitles, images, and other data. An MP4 file is typically composed of different data types, such as H.264 and AAC compressed audio/video streams, text (e.g., subtitles), metadata, and additional data describing the media content.

MP4 files are widely used for streaming over the Internet, due to their good compression ratio and compatibility with most major video platforms, including YouTube and Vimeo. They are also now commonly used as the container format for HDTV broadcasts and Blu-ray discs.
