MPEG (.mpg/.mpeg) is a relatively old, traditional video format, commonly used for burning discs, older devices, or legacy systems. In some special cases, we need to convert MP4 videos to MPEG format. To convert MP4 to MPEG, you can use HeSoft Doc Batch Tool , which can batch convert many MP4 videos to MPEG format at once, saving a lot of time, and also supports converting various other video formats uniformly to MPEG.
When to Convert MP4 to MPEG
1. Burning Discs
The common video format for VCD is MPEG‑1, and for DVD and TV broadcasting it is MPEG‑2; both belong to the MPEG format. If you need to burn MP4 videos onto VCD or DVD discs, you must convert them to the MPEG format.
2. Adapting to Older Devices
Some devices that are rather old and outdated may not support the MP4 format but will certainly support the MPEG format. For example, older conference room players, old televisions, and some medical and industrial equipment—when these older devices try to open MP4 or other video formats, they may fail to play them. Converting to MPEG format will be more compatible and avoid this issue.
3. Format Conversion as Required
Older versions of video editing software, or some specialized software, only support uploading videos in .mpg and .mpeg formats, while other video formats cannot be uploaded. Therefore, they must first be converted to the MPEG format.
