About MPEG to AAC Conversion
MPEG video files carry both video and audio tracks, with the audio typically encoded as MPEG Audio Layer 2 (MP2) at 192-384 kbps. AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is the successor to MP3, standardized in MPEG-2 Part 7 and refined in MPEG-4 Part 3, delivering better sound quality at equivalent bitrates. Extracting audio from MPEG to AAC preserves more fidelity per kilobyte than converting to MP3.
Why Convert MPEG to AAC?
MPEG Audio Layer 2 is a capable codec, but it lacks the psychoacoustic refinements of AAC. At 128 kbps, AAC achieves audio quality comparable to MP2 at 192 kbps, making it significantly more storage-efficient. AAC is also the native audio format for Apple devices, iTunes, YouTube, and most streaming platforms.
Extracting audio from MPEG recordings — such as TV captures, VHS digitizations, or DVD rips — into AAC gives you compact, high-quality audio files ready for modern playback ecosystems. Whether you need podcast-ready speech from a broadcast recording or a clean music track from a concert tape, AAC provides the best lossy quality available.
