About MPEG Video (.MPG)
MPG is a common file extension for video files encoded using the MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) standards. These files are widely used for storing digital video and audio in a compressed format, making them efficient for playback and sharing. The MPEG standards have been foundational in the development of digital video technology since the late 1980s.
Technical Details
MPG files typically use MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 compression codecs, which reduce file size by removing redundant data while preserving reasonable video quality. The format supports various resolutions and bitrates, allowing flexibility for different uses, such as DVDs (MPEG-2) or early digital video (MPEG-1). The compression relies on techniques like motion compensation and discrete cosine transform to efficiently encode video frames.
Additional Information & Use Cases
MPG files are often found in movies, TV shows, and online video content because they balance quality and file size effectively. Many media players and devices support MPG playback natively, making it a versatile choice for video distribution. Interestingly, the MPEG-1 standard, which introduced the .mpg format, was originally designed to compress VHS-quality raw digital video.
