How to convert MP4 to MPEG

Three steps to a DVD-compliant stream

1. Upload your video1

2. Pick MPEG-2 and the right frame size2

2. Pick MPEG-2 and the right frame size

MPEG-2 is pre-selected. Use 720 by 480 for NTSC discs and 720 by 576 for PAL, and keep the video bitrate under 9.8 Mbps, the DVD-Video ceiling. MPEG-1 is there for VCD and 1990s hardware.

3. Download and import it3

The format DVD authoring expects

MPEG-2 has been the DVD-Video and digital broadcast standard since 1995. Authoring software that asks for an MPEG-2 stream wants exactly this, and giving it an H.264 MP4 usually triggers a re-encode you did not ask for.

MPEG selected as the output format for an MP4 file

.mpeg and .mpg are one format

Both spellings mean the same thing. Software that lists one accepts the other, and renaming the file changes nothing inside it.
