What to expect
- MPEG-2 content can usually be remuxed from transport stream to program stream with minimal loss; H.264 content is re-encoded and softens slightly.
- MPG is a program stream aimed at file storage and disc authoring, not broadcast recording.
- The transport-stream packet structure and broadcast metadata from the TRP are not preserved in the MPG.
Frequently asked questions
Will converting TRP to MPG keep the quality?
If the TRP holds MPEG-2 video, it can often be re-wrapped from a transport stream into an MPG program stream with little or no re-encoding. If it holds H.264, the video is re-encoded, which is a lossy step.
Why convert TRP to MPG?
MPG is a widely supported program-stream format for file storage and older playback and disc-authoring software. Converting a set-top-box TRP to MPG makes the recording easier to use in those tools.
Where does an MPG file play?
VLC media player opens MPG on any platform, and most legacy players and DVD-authoring tools accept it since MPEG-1/MPEG-2 has been a standard for decades.
Are .mpg and the recording the same underneath?
The .mpg is a program stream, while the TRP is a transport stream; both can carry the same MPEG-2 video, so the change is mainly in how the data is packaged rather than the codec itself.
