Why convert MPG files for PlayStation?

Converting MPG files enables playback of legacy video content on PlayStation consoles that may not natively support the older MPEG formats.

Will the video quality remain the same after converting from MPG?

The conversion process involves re-encoding, which may reduce quality because MPG uses older lossy codecs.

Can I include subtitles or metadata during conversion?

MPG containers have limited support for modern metadata and subtitles, so these features may not be preserved after conversion.
