Why Convert MPG to MP4 file?

MPG files hold MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video in a program stream, the container that DVDs, old camcorders and digital TV recordings used. It still plays in desktop players, but browsers will not touch it, phones and smart TVs are hit and miss, and video editors and upload forms increasingly reject it outright. MP4 is where that footage needs to be to stay usable.

MP4 with H.264 is far more efficient than MPEG-2, so the same material usually ends up a good deal smaller while looking much the same, and the file streams properly instead of having to download first. This is a genuine re-encode rather than a container swap — MPEG-2 video cannot simply be moved into MP4 untouched — so expect a modest quality loss and keep the MPG if it is your only master. Interlaced DVD and TV recordings are worth deinterlacing on the way out, otherwise the comb lines stay visible on any modern screen.
