Frequently asked questions
Does ASF to MPG reduce quality?
Yes. MPG holds MPEG-1/MPEG-2 video, so the ASF's WMV stream is re-encoded to MPEG-2, which is lossy. MPEG-2 is also less efficient than newer codecs, so files tend to be larger at the same quality.
Why convert ASF to MPG?
MPG is the open MPEG-1/MPEG-2 format behind Video CDs, DVDs and recorded TV. It is a good target for older players and hardware that expect MPEG program streams.
Where can I play an MPG file?
MPG opens in VLC on any platform and in many legacy players. The
.mpg and .mpeg extensions mean the same format.What is lost, and will DRM files convert?
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 dropped.
