MPEG to MP4 FAQ
Will the MP4 be smaller?
Usually much smaller. MPEG-2 needs several times the bitrate of H.264 for the same picture, so re-encoding typically cuts the file size substantially at similar visible quality.
Why do I see comb-like lines on movement?
The source is interlaced, which is normal for DVD and broadcast MPEG-2. Deinterlacing is not applied automatically here, so the interlacing is preserved and becomes visible on a progressive display.
Is quality lost?
A little, since the video is compressed again. The gain in file size is usually the point, and at the default quality preset the loss is not visible on DVD-era material.
Does it handle .mpg and .mpeg equally?
Yes, both extensions describe the same family of files and are accepted here.
Is there a size limit?
About 667 MB. Because MPEG-2 is inefficient, a modest amount of video can approach that — a DVD-length rip will exceed it and needs a desktop tool.
Does it accept .mpg files?
Yes. Files ending in .mpg are accepted and converted the same way as .mpeg files.
Is it really free?
Yes — every conversion on this site, with no account, no watermark and no daily cap. The work happens on your own device, so there is no server bill for us to pass on to you.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It runs in any modern browser, on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. There is nothing to install and nothing to sign up for, and once you have converted a file on the page it keeps working with the network switched off.
