Gotta Known things About MPEG

MPEG stands for Moving Picture Experts Group. This group specializes in the development of video and audio encoding standards. When you have come into possession of a file with an .MPG or .MPEG extension, you usually have either MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video. MPEG-1 video is used on VideoCD (VCD) discs and MPEG-2 video is used on Super VideoCD (SVCD) and DVD discs (including home-made DVDs, commercial DVDs, Netflix DVDs).

When you got some MPG files, you may want to add and play MPG files in QuickTime player. Although QuickTime can fully support a few video formats; however, QuickTime does not support MPG files as source media. If you stick to import MPG files to QuickTime for playback, get the quick fix from the following paragraphs.

Tutorial: Converting MPG to QuickTime format

1. Install and run this best MPG to QuickTime Converter. Click Add button to load the MPG(MPEG) files to the program. You can also drag videos to the converter directly.



2. Click format you choose MOV as target format. This video app offers the QuickTime Movie Format for you. Or, you can also choose "Common Video -> MOV - QuickTime (*.mov)" as the output format.



Tip: If you like, you can click "Settings" to change the video encoder, resolution, frame rate, etc. as you wish. According to my experience, the file size and video quality is based more on bitrate than resolution which means bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible quality loss, and vice versa.

3. Finally click the Convert button to begin encoding MPG to QuickTime .mov on Mac OS X(Mavericks).

After the conversion is finished successfully, go into the destination directory and drop the converted files into QT player. All your videos will be ready to play, enjoy them!
