Why convert MPG files to Android formats?

Converting MPG files ensures compatibility with Android devices by adapting older MPEG-1/2 video streams to formats and settings supported by modern mobile platforms.

Will the video quality change after conversion?

Re-encoding MPG files usually causes some quality loss because of lossy compression, especially if multiple conversions are performed.

Can all elements in MPG files be preserved during conversion?

Some MPG features like embedded metadata or subtitle tracks might not be preserved and may require separate handling.
