Frequently asked questions
Is ASF to MPEG lossy?
Yes. MPEG here means MPEG-1/MPEG-2 video, so the ASF's WMV stream is re-encoded to MPEG-2. That is lossy, and MPEG-2 is less efficient than modern codecs, giving larger files at similar quality.
Why convert ASF to MPEG?
MPEG is a widely supported open standard used by VCDs, DVDs and recorded TV. You convert for players or hardware that expect classic MPEG program streams.
Where does an MPEG file play?
MPEG files open in VLC on any platform and in a broad range of legacy players. The
.mpeg and .mpg extensions are the same format.Will a DRM-protected ASF convert, and what about audio?
DRM-protected ASF/WMV cannot be converted. For unprotected files, WMA audio is re-encoded (typically to MP2 or MP3) and Windows Media metadata is not preserved.
