MPG Streamer FAQ

How do I play an older MPG file online?

Upload your MPG file. Most browsers cannot decode MPG; when yours cannot, the page says so and links to a converter, and converting to MP4 makes it play.

Why won't my MPG file play in the browser?

MPG often wraps legacy codecs (DivX, Xvid, WMV3, etc.) that modern browsers don't decode natively. Converting the MPG to MP4 (H.264) makes it play everywhere.

Will I lose quality playing or converting MPG?

Playback never changes your file. If you convert MPG to a modern format, choose a high-quality preset to keep the result visually close to the MPG source.

Is MPG still a good format to keep my videos in?

MPG is widely compatible with old software but uses dated, less efficient compression. For streaming and small files, converting MPG to MP4 or WebM is usually better.

Does the MPG player upload my file?

No. Your MPG file stays in your browser for local playback and is never sent to a server.

Can I play MPG on my phone?

Mobile browsers have limited MPG codec support. If it won't play, convert the MPG to MP4 first for reliable mobile playback.

Can I add subtitles to a MPG video?

No. The player has no option to load SRT or VTT subtitle files.

Why is my MPG file so large for its quality?

Older MPG codecs compress less efficiently than modern ones. Converting MPG to H.264/H.265 typically shrinks the file substantially at the same quality.
