.mpgand.mpegare identical formats; 3GPP2 container metadata is not preserved.
Frequently asked questions
Does MPG improve the mobile video?
No. MPG is the MPEG-1/MPEG-2 format from the VCD and DVD era, and it re-encodes the low-bitrate 3G2 footage. The result matches the source at best and uses a less efficient codec.
Why convert 3G2 to MPG?
MPG is the format behind Video CDs, DVDs, and recorded TV, so converting suits legacy players and authoring tools that expect MPEG-1/2. The extensions
.mpg and .mpeg mean the same thing.What plays an MPG file?
VLC opens MPG on any platform, and MPEG-1/2 is an open standard with broad legacy support in DVD-era software and hardware players.
Will the converted file be bigger?
Usually. MPEG-1/2 compresses less efficiently than modern mobile codecs, so the same clip tends to take more space as MPG for comparable quality.
