MOV to MPG Conversion FAQ
Will resolution and frame rate be preserved in the MPG?
+
Yes. MOV → MPG keeps resolution, frame rate, and aspect ratio unchanged by default. To change them, use the Resize or Speed tool on the result.
Is the MOV to MPG conversion reversible?
+
You can convert the MPG back to MOV on this site. If either format involved is lossy, the round-trip is not bit-perfect even though it is visually or audibly close.
What happens to the subtitle tracks in my MOV file?
+
They are dropped. MPG has no soft-subtitle stream to hold them, and the converter neither burns them into the picture nor exports them as a separate file. If you need them, extract the subtitles to an .srt file with a desktop tool such as ffmpeg or MKVToolNix before converting, and load that file alongside the MPG in your player. MPG inherits every MPEG-2 limitation — heavy bitrate, interlacing, no soft subtitles — plus the confusion of two extensions for one format.
Why would I convert MOV to an older format like MPG?
+
Because a lot of hardware never learned anything newer and never will. DVD players, in-car head units, camcorder playback modes, industrial displays and plenty of broadcast ingest equipment accept MPG and nothing else. The conversion is a deliberate step down in efficiency, bought in exchange for working on a device that has no other option. MPG is the extension DVD authoring software, older camcorders and broadcast ingest tools recognise, so it stays useful for those pipelines.
Is there a file-size limit when converting MOV to MPG?
+
Free conversions have a size limit per file, set by the type of file, and the page tells you when a file is over it. A paid plan removes that limit, so much larger files can be converted.
Can I batch-convert several MOV files to MPG at once?
+
Several files in one job need a paid plan. Free use is one file per conversion, one conversion an hour. On a paid plan you can add several files to one job, then download each result on its own or all of them in one ZIP.
What happens to my MOV files after the conversion?
+
Uploaded files are processed on our own conversion servers, nobody looks at them, and they are not shared. The upload and the converted file are both deleted automatically about 24 hours after the conversion, which leaves time to download the result. See /privacy/ for the full policy.
Will my MPG play on phones, tablets, and TVs?
+
MPG plays in most desktop players but is sometimes unsupported on mobile and TV. For broadest reach, consider MP4 instead.
Do I need to install software to convert MOV to MPG?
+
No. The converter runs entirely in your browser plus our cloud — no plugin, no install, no admin rights. It works on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, iOS, and Android.
Do I need an account to convert MOV to MPG?
+
Yes. One conversion an hour is free, with no account needed, for a file within the free size limit. A paid plan removes the hourly limit and the size limit, and lets you add several files to one job.
Is there an API for MOV to MPG conversion?
+
Yes. Every conversion this site offers is also exposed via a JSON API — see /api/ for endpoints, authentication, and rate limits. MOV to MPG is one of the supported pairs.
What if my MOV fails to convert to MPG?
+
Failures are usually caused by corrupted source files or unsupported MOV variants. Re-export from the original app and try again; if it still fails, the contact page forwards the file to support so we can diagnose.
