When to convert MP4 to MPEG
Use MPEG output when legacy authoring software, an archive, or a player explicitly requires MPEG-2 video. Keep MP4 for most modern web, phone, and sharing workflows.
Upload an MP4 video and convert it to MPEG.
Your converted file will appear here.
MPEG output is useful for compatibility with workflows and players that expect MPEG video files.

The converter creates an MPEG program stream with MPEG-2 video and MP2 audio. These legacy codecs differ from the H.264 video and AAC audio commonly used in the source MP4.
MPEG-2 usually requires more data than H.264 to represent similar detail, so the MPEG result can be larger than the MP4 upload. Both video and audio are re-encoded during conversion.
An application asking for “MPEG” may expect a particular MPEG generation or stream type. Confirm that it accepts an MPEG program stream containing MPEG-2 video and MP2 audio.
Yes. Upload an MP4 file, choose MPEG, and download the converted result.
The output uses MPEG-2 video and MP2 audio in an MPEG program stream.
Not necessarily. MPEG-2 is generally less storage-efficient than H.264, so the result can be larger.
