Part 1: What is MPG/MPEG/MPEG2/MP4?

MPG, also known as MPEG (Moving Pictures Experts Group), is the group of experts on moving pictures, jointly created in 1988 by ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (International Electronic Committee), dedicated to the Standardization of moving images (MPEG video) and audio coding (MPEG audio). The file extension of MPEG video is usually MPEG or MPG.

MPEG is an international standard for moving image compression algorithms, which is now supported by almost all computer platforms. It includes MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. MPEG-1 is widely used in VCD (video compact disk) production, and most of VCDs are compressed as the MPEG-1 format. MPEG-2 is used in the production of DVD (Digital Video / Versatile Disk), HDTV (High Definition Television Broadcasting) and some complicated video editing and processing. MPEG-4 (MP4) is a new standard for compression algorithms, which is mainly used for networks, optical discs, voice transmission, video telephony, and TV broadcasting.

Due to high compression, MP4 is smaller than the other video formats. The reduction of the file size never affects the video quality. That makes MP4 useful and friendly on the Internet.

Part 2: Why MP4 Should be Converted to MPG/MPEG/MPEG2?

As mentioned above, MP4 is one of the common MPG formats. Since it uses the new compression algorithms, its quality will be well, even its file size is very small. Therefore, we can use MP4 to store files and then convert them to the other formats for different usage scenarios.

In the previous part, we’ve explained MP4 and MPG/ MPEG/MPEG2 and talk about why we should convert MP4 to MPG/ MPEG/MPEG2. Next, we will learn about how to convert MP4 to MPG/ MPEG/MPEG2.

Compared between these two ways, Renee Video Editor Pro is better because it contains the video format converter but also the editing functions. You can use the software to add different effects, such as cutting, cropping and rotating, adding/removing watermark and adding subtitles, opening/ending. The online converter usually limits the file size and relies on the network environment. Therefore, it is less comprehensive than Renee Video Editor Pro. We suggest using Renee Video Editor Pro to convert MP4 to MPG/ MPEG/MPEG2 and make your own videos.
