MPG files carry MPEG-1/MPEG-2 video with MP2 (MPEG Audio Layer 2) audio — the audio codec standard for DVDs, VCDs, and digital TV broadcasts at typical bitrates of 128-384 kbps. FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an open-source lossless compression format that preserves every decoded sample while reducing file sizes by 30-50% compared to raw PCM. Converting MPG to FLAC extracts and decodes the MP2 audio, then encodes it losslessly in FLAC for archival or editing purposes.
FLAC is the universal standard for lossless audio archiving across all platforms. If you have valuable audio in MPG files — concert recordings, broadcast audio, DVD soundtracks — converting to FLAC preserves the decoded MP2 audio perfectly while providing efficient compression and full metadata support. FLAC is supported natively on Linux, Android, Windows, and macOS (since High Sierra).
FFmpeg decodes the MP2 audio stream from the MPG container to raw PCM samples, then encodes them using the FLAC encoder. FLAC compression levels range from 0 (fastest, largest) to 12 (slowest, smallest), with level 5 being the default sweet spot. Output files include Vorbis comment metadata. The FLAC encoding is completely lossless — the decoded PCM samples can be reconstructed bit-for-bit from the FLAC file.
FLAC perfectly preserves the decoded MP2 audio with zero additional loss. The output quality is exactly what you would hear when playing the original MPG file. FLAC cannot improve upon the original MP2 encoding, but it ensures no further degradation occurs during storage, copying, or subsequent editing.

MPG to FLAC conversion is the ideal path for preserving legacy broadcast and disc audio in an open, lossless, cross-platform format. FLAC's combination of lossless compression, open-source licensing, and universal support makes it the gold standard for audio archiving.
