MPG vs MPEG Format Comparison
Aspect | MPG (Source Format) | MPEG (Target Format) |
---|---|---|
Format Overview |
MPG
MPEG-1/2 Video
Classic digital video format for DVDs and broadcast with MPEG-1/2 compression. Legacy |
MPEG
MPEG-1/2/4 Video
Standardized container and codec formats spanning MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 specifications. Standard |
Container/Codecs |
Uses MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video and MP2/MP3 audio; established broadcast standard. |
Supports MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 Part 2/AVC video with AAC, MP3 audio; flexible across standards. |
Compression |
Moderate efficiency for DVD quality; suited to broadcast speeds. |
Variable: MPEG-1 low-complexity, MPEG-2 for DVDs, MPEG-4 for high-efficiency streaming. |
Quality |
Good quality up to SD (720×480). |
Quality ranges from SD to Full HD/4K depending on MPEG version and bitrate. |
File Size |
5–100 MB/min depending on bitrate. |
10–200 MB/min for MPEG-2; 1–50 MB/min for MPEG-4 at comparable quality. |
Compatibility |
Wide support on DVD players, media centers. |
Universal support for MPEG-1/2 on legacy devices; broad support for MPEG-4 on modern platforms. |
Streaming Support |
Suitable for broadcast and simple streaming. |
MPEG-4/AVC is de facto standard for adaptive streaming (HLS, DASH). |
