MPG files encode video using MPEG-1 (VCD era, 352x240 at 1.5 Mbps) or MPEG-2 (DVD era, up to 1080i at 9.8 Mbps) with MP2 audio. iPad Video is an H.264 1080p preset optimized for Apple's iPad hardware. Converting MPG to iPad Video modernizes legacy disc and broadcast content for smooth playback on iPad's Retina display, upgrading from 1990s compression to modern H.264 with dramatically better efficiency.
iPads cannot reliably play MPG files — iOS has no native MPEG-1/2 decoder in the default video player. Even VLC on iPad may struggle with interlaced MPEG-2 from broadcast captures. The iPad Video preset re-encodes to H.264 Main Profile Level 4.0 at 1080p, which iPad's hardware video decoder handles with minimal battery impact. A DVD-quality MPG at 5 Mbps MPEG-2 looks equally good at 3 Mbps H.264.
FFmpeg decodes MPEG-1/2 video (deinterlacing if the source is interlaced), scales to 1920x1080 (or preserves original resolution if lower), and encodes to H.264 Main Profile Level 4.0 with a bitrate of 5-8 Mbps. Audio is converted from MP2 to AAC-LC at 160 kbps stereo. The output MP4 uses faststart atom placement for instant playback from iPad's Files app, iCloud, or local storage.
H.264 at 1080p provides excellent quality on iPad Retina displays. For DVD-quality (720x480) MPG sources, the content is upscaled to fill more of the screen but will not magically become HD — it will look like DVD quality on a sharp screen. Genuinely HD MPEG-2 sources (1920x1080i broadcast) benefit from deinterlacing and H.264 re-encoding with visibly improved sharpness.
