Generally, the MP4 to MPG conversion happens when you need your MP4 video to be played on older devices or software. MPG is a classic format used for DVDs, TVs, and older video editors that cannot open MP4 smoothly. It’s also the right choice if you plan to burn your video onto a DVD or VCD. A lot of people convert MP4 to MPG just because the latter plays better on computers with lower performance and limited codec support.

MP4 and MPG actually belong to the same MPEG family, but are not exactly the same format. MP4 is newer and uses advanced compression (usually H.264 or H.265), which maintains high quality in smaller files. MPG, on the other hand, is older and usually adopts MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 compression that creates slightly larger files but is highly compatible with older systems and DVD players.

In short, MP4 is modern and efficient, while MPG is traditional and widely compatible.

The answer is not quite straightforward. MPG video files are usually bigger than their MP4 counterparts because they use older compression. However, MPG is faster to load and easier to play on older computers and DVD players, not to mention various editing programs that may have problems with modern codecs. On today’s devices, MP4 will undoubtedly perform better because it uses hardware decoding.

The quality of the video will remain almost unchanged, but some small loss can occur. Converting MP4 to MPG could slightly reduce the MP4’s sharpness due to the older compression methods used in MPG. So if your .mp4 video is in high definition, the converted MPG might appear a little softer or less detailed. Still, the difference is too minute to notice with the naked eye for most videos.

Yes. AhaConvert lets you convert MP4 to MPG completely free in your browser. There is no signup, no subscription, and no hidden watermarks for simple conversions. Just upload your MP4 file and download the MPG version once it’s ready. That’s it.

Yes, as long as the file size is within the upload limit. AhaConvert allows uploading files up to 1 GB. This covers long clips and many HD recordings. We have set this limit because files larger than 1 GB upload very slowly in a browser and may fail on slower connections. If your .mp4 file is bigger, trim or compress it first, then convert to MPG.

AhaConvert does one file at a time to maintain the speed and stability of the tool. If you wish to convert several videos, you will have to do them individually. If this is something you need to do often, let us know. We will consider adding this feature in a future update.

Absolutely. All the video files, whether uploaded or downloaded, are kept safe during processing. We use 256-bit SSL encryption, store files in a secure cloud environment, and automatically delete them within 24 hours.
