File Extension | MPG |
Full Name | MPEG 1 Video File Format |
File with a .MPG contains a compressed video stored in a popular format, developed by MPEG - Moving Picture Experts Group. Files are usually compressed in the MPEG-1 or 2 standards.
File Extension | M4V |
Full Name | MPEG-4 Video File Format |
M4V files store video data encoded using MPEG-4 standard. M4V format uses copyright protection technology called FairPlay. This solution prevents the file to be opened on unauthorized devices.
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "MPG") to another (referred to as "M4V"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, MPG file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format MPG to format M4V becomes essential.
So, how can we perform MPG to M4V file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format MPG and transforming it into format M4V. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of MPG to M4V converters.
If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of MPG to M4V. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the MPG file:
File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
