MPG files use MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video compression — the legacy codecs from the VCD and DVD era — with MP2 audio. Android Video is a modern H.264 720p preset designed for Android smartphones and tablets. Converting MPG to Android Video upgrades the vintage MPEG codec to H.264, producing dramatically better compression efficiency. An MPG file at 5 Mbps can be re-encoded to H.264 at 2-3 Mbps with comparable or better visual quality, cutting file sizes by 40-60%.
Android devices do not reliably play MPG files natively — MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 decoding support varies across Android manufacturers and versions. The Android Video preset uses H.264 Main Profile at 720p, which is universally hardware-decoded on every Android device from 2012 onward. This ensures smooth playback with minimal battery consumption, regardless of the Android phone or tablet model.
FFmpeg decodes the MPEG-1/2 video from the MPG container, deinterlaces if needed (common with DVD and broadcast MPG), and re-encodes to H.264 Main Profile Level 3.1 at 1280x720. Audio is converted from MP2 to AAC-LC at 128 kbps stereo. The H.264 encoding achieves roughly 2x the compression efficiency of MPEG-2 at equivalent quality, meaning a 5 Mbps MPEG-2 source produces comparable quality at 2.5 Mbps H.264.
At 720p H.264, the output typically looks as good as or better than the original MPG despite using a lower bitrate. H.264's motion estimation and intra-prediction are vastly superior to MPEG-2. If the source MPG was standard-definition (DVD 720x480 or VCD 352x240), the output maintains the original resolution without upscaling. Only genuinely HD MPEG-2 sources are downscaled to 720p.
