What is a MPEG file?
MPEG is a family of video and audio compression standards developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group. When people refer to MPEG files, they typically mean video compressed using MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 standards, often with the .mpg or .mpeg file extension.
These files were widely used for video CDs, early internet video, and digital cable broadcasting. MPEG provided a balance between video quality and file size, making it a foundational format for digital video.
How to open MPEG files
MPEG files can be opened with VLC, Windows Media Player, QuickTime, and almost all media players. They are also supported by web browsers and editing software.
