Frequently Asked Questions

MPG (often MPEG-1 or MPEG-2) was employed for DVDs and early digital video. Most devices nowadays, including phones, TVs, browsers, and editors, cannot handle it properly. The MP4 conversion re-encodes your MPG video in mainstream codecs so that it plays seamlessly on almost any device.

MPG is an outdated format with MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 compression. It tends to produce large files and may include interlaced video that look obsolete on today’s screens. MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is a modern container with H.264 or H.265 for video and AAC for audio. MP4 files are natively compatible across current operating systems, browsers, and editors.

You can preserve the visible quality with AhaConvert. DVD MPG is usually MPEG-2 at a fixed resolution and bitrate. During conversion, the tool keeps the original resolution and frame rate and uses efficient encoding so that the MP4 looks the same to the naked eyes, with the file size considerably smaller. If your original video is interlaced (common on DVDs), enabling de-interlacing may make it clearer on modern screens.

Yes. Editors today are MP4 optimized. The older compression and interlacing in MPG files can bring about import issues, dropped audio, or laggy timelines. But once you’ve converted it into MP4, you can expect better scrubbing, better preview performance, and fewer codec errors in applications like Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, iMovie, and CapCut.
