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.

What is a M4A file?
M4A stands for MPEG-4 Audio and is a popular audio format used for storing compressed audio files. Unlike MP3, M4A files often use AAC encoding, which provides better sound quality at similar file sizes. It was developed by Apple and is widely used in iTunes and iOS devices.
M4A files are typically used for music and podcasts, offering high efficiency and compatibility with modern players. Since they don't support digital rights management (DRM), they are preferred for unrestricted distribution of audio content.
