Video context is offered in a wide range of formats, and probably no single software video player handles them all. If you have a video with a lesser known file extension, you can convert it into the more popular MPG movie extension. There is no need to struggle with complicated batch files or attempts to write your own conversion programs. Instead you can use any of the readily available MPG conversion utilities on the Internet.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • MPG movie conversion utility (most offer free trial period, after which purchase is required)
  1. Step 1

    Use one of the Resources links to access an MPG conversion utility. Download and install a program such as "ZJ Media MPG Converter," "Win MPG Video Converter," or "Blaze Media Pro."

  2. Step 2

    Click the option to upload a new video file, which will usually be labeled as "Open" or "Input File Name." Locate the video file you want to convert and click "OK."

  3. Step 3

    Upload any additional video files to the conversion utility that you want to convert to the MPG format.

  4. Step 4

    Click "Output File Name" or the equivalent option for the conversion utility you are using. Find the folder where you want the converted MPG movie to be saved. Click the folder's name and choose "OK."

  5. Step 5

    Click the conversion options drop-down menu and select "To MPG." Click "Convert" to convert all of the uploaded videos to MPG movies.

Tips & Warnings
  • Before converting any videos to the MPG movie format you should save backup copies of the original files just in case the conversion process is interrupted.
