Technical Details
Codec Transformation
Converts MPEG video streams (using H.262, H.264, or MPEG-4 Part 2 codecs) to Windows Media Video format with WMV3 or VC-1 compression. The conversion process maintains temporal and spatial quality while optimizing for Windows Media Framework compatibility.
Audio Stream Processing
Handles MPEG audio layers (MP1, MP2, MP3) and AAC audio streams, converting them to Windows Media Audio (WMA) format. Preserves multi-channel audio configurations including stereo, 5.1, and 7.1 surround sound setups with appropriate bitrate allocation.
Container Format Conversion
Transforms MPEG program streams (.mpg, .mpeg) and transport streams (.ts, .m2ts) into ASF (Advanced Systems Format) containers used by WMV. This conversion enables advanced features like DRM support, metadata embedding, and streaming optimization.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will converting MPEG to WMV reduce video quality?
The quality depends on your output settings. WMV uses advanced compression that can actually maintain similar quality to MPEG while reducing file size. Using higher bitrate settings during conversion will preserve more detail, while lower settings will prioritize smaller file sizes.
Can I convert MPEG-2 files from my DVR to WMV?
Yes, Convertify handles MPEG-2 transport streams and program streams commonly used by DVRs and TV recording devices. The conversion will make your recordings compatible with Windows Media Player and reduce file sizes significantly.
Does the converter support MPEG files with multiple audio tracks?
Convertify can process MPEG files with multiple audio streams and convert them to WMV format. You can choose which audio track to include in the output file, or convert multiple versions with different audio tracks.
Why won’t my MPEG files play properly in Windows Media Player?
Many MPEG files use codecs that aren’t natively supported by Windows Media Player, especially MPEG-4 variants and newer compression standards. Converting to WMV ensures native compatibility without requiring additional codec installations.
How much smaller will my files be after converting to WMV?
WMV typically reduces file sizes by 20-40% compared to equivalent MPEG files due to more efficient compression algorithms. The exact reduction depends on the source material and quality settings you choose during conversion.
Can I batch convert an entire folder of MPEG files?
Yes, Convertify supports massive batch processing and can handle thousands of MPEG files simultaneously. Simply drag and drop your entire folder of MPEG files, and the converter will process them all to WMV format automatically.
Will the conversion preserve the original video resolution and frame rate?
By default, the conversion maintains the original resolution and frame rate of your MPEG files. You can also customize these settings if you need to resize the video or change the frame rate for specific playback requirements.
Is WMV format suitable for professional video editing?
WMV is primarily designed for playback and distribution rather than editing. If you need to edit the video, consider keeping a high-quality master copy in another format, and use WMV for final distribution and compatibility purposes.
