How do I convert MP4 to MPEG?

Upload your .mp4 file, select MPEG as output, choose MPEG-2 codec and set resolution if needed. Click Convert, wait for re-encoding, then download your .mpeg file. For multiple files, enable batch mode to convert them simultaneously.

Why convert MP4 to MPEG instead of keeping MP4?

MPEG (MPEG-2) is the required format for DVD Video and is widely supported by older DVD players, broadcast hardware, and professional NLEs. MP4's H.264 codec often lacks support in these environments. Converting ensures seamless playback and editing in legacy workflows.

What happens to video/audio quality during MP4 to MPEG conversion?

The transcode re-encodes H.264 to MPEG-2, so video is lossy and bitrate-dependent. Audio is converted from AAC to MPEG Layer II, preserving stereo/multichannel channels but possibly changing sample rates. Resolution and frame rate are preserved, but subtle compression artifacts may appear at low bitrates. Choose high bitrate to minimize quality loss.
