MPG to OGV 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.

OGV (Ogg Video) is an open, royalty-free video format developed by Xiph.org and is based on the Theora video codec and the Ogg Vorbis audio codec. The OGV file format provides a high-quality, scalable video streaming option to suit a wide variety of applications, from streaming video over the internet to playing full-screen HD content on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux platforms.

OGV files are similar to MKV or WEBM files but can provide better video quality and a higher bit-rate at lower file sizes. OGV files also offer better compression performance and higher compatibility across browsers, devices and operating systems.
