MPEG Video Compressor
MPEG is a family of older video formats including MPEG-1 (used in VCDs) and MPEG-2 (used in DVDs and TV broadcasts). These formats use compression technology from the 1990s that is far less efficient than modern H.264. A DVD-quality MPEG-2 file is typically 3 to 5 times larger than an equivalent MP4. CompressYourVideo.com converts MPEG files to compressed MP4 with H.264 encoding, reducing file size by 50 to 80% while maintaining visual quality. This is especially useful for DVD rips, old camcorder footage, and VHS captures that were digitized in MPEG format. The compressed MP4 output is compatible with every modern device and platform.
