Learn about the source and target file formats to understand what happens during conversion.

Source Format

MPEG Video

video/mpeg

MPG is a common file extension for MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 video files, standards developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group. MPEG-1 was the first widely used video compression standard (used in Video CDs), while MPEG-2 became the standard for DVD-Video and digital television broadcasting. MPG files contain multiplexed video and audio streams in a program or transport stream.

Advantages

  • Widely compatible with virtually all media players and hardware devices
  • MPEG-2 provides good quality suitable for DVD and broadcast content
  • Simple, mature format with well-established decoder support

Limitations

  • Significantly lower compression efficiency than modern H.264 or H.265
  • Large file sizes for equivalent quality compared to modern codecs
  • Limited metadata, subtitle, and multi-track support

Common Uses

  • DVD-Video content and disc authoring
  • Digital television broadcasting and cable TV distribution
  • Legacy video archives and Video CD content

Target Format

3GP Video

video/3gpp

3GP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) is a multimedia container format designed for 3G mobile phones to reduce storage and bandwidth requirements. It stores video encoded with H.263 or MPEG-4 Part 2 and audio in AMR or AAC at low bitrates optimized for mobile networks. 3GP prioritizes small file sizes and low bandwidth over video quality.

Advantages

  • Very small file sizes optimized for mobile devices and slow networks
  • Widely supported by mobile phones, including basic feature phones
  • Low processing requirements suitable for low-power devices

Limitations

  • Very low video and audio quality compared to modern formats
  • Largely obsolete as modern smartphones support full MP4/H.264
  • Limited resolution and bitrate capabilities

Common Uses

  • Legacy mobile phone video recording and MMS sharing
  • Low-bandwidth video streaming on 2G/3G networks
  • Video content for basic feature phones in developing markets
