Look at video editing programs, same thing - mp4, not mkv).īut, this will result in bad artifacts for some mpeg-2 videos, even resulting in files bigger than original merely to retain the same visual quality.Īpple and Microsoft are IDIOTS - they keep removing features. IPhone's and android phones, pc, Mac ALL natively support mp4 files, not mkv. Mp4 files have a broad support base natively (E.g. If you must, convert mpg to mp4 ( handbrake works fine - even a default slow conversion setting if you don't customize yourself). Mkv is NOT as universally supported as mpeg-2 across players.Įven android phones DO NOT support mpeg-2, not even mp4, inside a mkv file format (Google only supports vp9 to try and lock people into its format - bad, and vp9 had even far less native device support.) No reencoding of data required, so the original quality is retained 100% original. Mpeg-2 codec is what dvds are mastered in, so the vob is mpeg-2 data formatted in a way dvd players understand. (And, having windows lets you have access to all the windows video programs later.)
Pc program, but you can quickly install Windows in virtualbox or boot camp on your Mac.
I use mpg2cut to rapidly convert and combine vob files into a mpeg-2 file.
