MPG Video File Format

The MPG format allows compression (with slight loss of quality) of audio and video data to simplify the downloading process (by reducing the disk space required to store the file). This type of file is small in size and has high data quality. In addition, MPG files have other names - MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files. Both MPG file types serve as containers for audio and video data and keep the two data streams in sync. MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files can be played on Windows, Mac, and many mobile devices. Although MPEG-2 is not the most efficient format for data compression, it is often used due to its compatibility with various programs. The standards for MPG files were developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group.

Technical information about MPG files

An MPG file (in the case of MPEG-1) compresses files to 1.5 Mbps. Digital video files (such as those obtained from VHS tapes) are compressed at a ratio of 26 to 1; Audio files on CDs are compressed at a ratio of 6 to 1. It is worth noting that the MPEG-1 format is one of the most universal formats for recording audio and video data. In particular, it is used for digital audio broadcasting (in the case of radio), as well as for cable/satellite television broadcasting. In addition, the MPG standards became the basis for the emergence of the widely known MP3 format. MPEG-2 is used to compress interconnected audio and video data (such as movies). It allows you to work with audio data up to the 5.1 audio channel system. Although the MPEG-2 format has a bitrate limit of 1 Mbps, video decoders can play lower bitrate files due to backward compatibility with MPEG-1 files. MPEG-2 files are very often used for cable, satellite and digital television, as well as for creating DVDs.
