MPEG to MP4 Converter

Convert an MPEG (MPEG-1/MPEG-2) video into a modern, compact MP4. MPEG is the format behind DVDs and old capture cards — reliable but bulky, with compression decades behind H.264. An MP4 export shrinks the file while keeping the picture.

About the MPEG and MP4 formats

MPEG

MPEG (MPEG-1/MPEG-2 program stream) is the format behind Video CDs, DVDs, and broadcast capture cards. It is extremely widely decodable and a safe choice for DVD authoring or older hardware players, but the compression is decades behind H.264 — expect much larger files for the same picture.

MP4

MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is the most widely supported video container on the planet. It packs H.264 or H.265 video with AAC audio into a single file that plays natively on iPhone, Android, Windows, macOS, web browsers, smart TVs, and every modern editor. Use MP4 when you need a finished, shareable video that will just work, anywhere, without re-encoding.

How it works

How to convert MPEG to MP4

  1. Upload or paste a MPEG link

    Drop a MPEG file from your device, or paste a public URL pointing to the MPEG you want to convert.

  2. Confirm MP4 as the output format

    The output is pre-set to MP4. You can adjust quality or bitrate in the advanced options if you need a smaller file.

  3. Start the conversion

    Click Convert. Our cloud workers fetch the MPEG, scan it for malware, and run the MPEG → MP4 pipeline.

  4. Download your MP4 file

    A one-time pre-signed link appears as soon as the MP4 is ready. The file is automatically deleted from our storage 2 hours later.
