Frequently asked questions
Will converting FLV to MPG reduce quality?
Yes. MPG uses the older MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 standard, so the FLV is re-encoded; that codec is less efficient and usually needs a larger file to match the source's detail.
Why convert FLV to MPG?
MPG is the format behind Video CDs, DVDs and recorded TV, so it fits disc authoring and older hardware players. FLV was made for the now-retired Flash Player.
What will open an MPG file?
The free VLC media player plays it on any platform. The extensions .mpg and .mpeg mean the same thing.
Is the MPG file bigger than the FLV?
Typically yes, because MPEG-1/MPEG-2 compresses less efficiently than newer codecs, so the same visual quality takes more space.
