Convert MPEG to WEBM

Converting one file format to another may be necessary for various reasons. So, for example, you may want to convert MPEG to WEBM if your computer, phone or other device does not support MPEG format. Also, conversion is often required to reduce the file size, since the original format takes up too much space in the device's memory. Perhaps you just need to extract the audio track from the video file, in which case converting the video to audio format is a good option. In any case, with the help of our converter, you can easily complete the required task. Below you can find out some details about the original and new file formats.

In January 1988, an expert working group on coding of moving images was formed within the framework of the joint information technology technical committee JTC1 of the International Organization for Standardization ISO and the International Electrotechnical Commission IEC, which was tasked with developing standards for image and sound coding with the aim of eliminating redundancy. MPEG compression standards were developed by Moving Picture Experts Group. This technology defines the compression standards for both audio and video information and makes it convenient for transmission in broadcast. There are many versions of the format - MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-3, MPEG-4, etc. MPEG-1 is a lossy compression standard for video and audio. It is designed to compress VHS. Perhaps everyone is familiar with the MPEG-2 format. It is this format that underlies DVD-Video discs. The MPEG-2 format is also the basis for digital television standards. The MPEG3 standard was originally developed for use in High Definition Television (HDTV) systems with a data rate of 20-40 Mbps. The new MPEG4 standard, which appeared at the very end of 1999, offers a broader view of media reality. The standard defines the principles for working with content (digital representation of media data) for three areas: interactive multimedia itself (including products distributed on optical discs and over the Internet), graphics applications (synthetic content) and digital television (DTV).

A WEBM file is a compressed video saved in the WebM format, an open high quality video standard. It stores video compressed using VP8 technology and compressed audio using Ogg Vorbis compression. WEBM files are commonly used to deliver online video using HTML5. A WEBM file is a video in the open WebM format, which is widely used to broadcast videos over the Internet, including YouTube. The format complies with the HTML5 standard and is a container in which compressed video and audio streams are packed. The WebM file container contains a video stream compressed using the VP8 or VP9 codecs, an audio stream compressed with the Vorbis or Opus codec, and subtitles such as WebVTT may also be present. In fact, the structure of the WebM file repeats the Matroska media container, only in a very truncated form regarding the variety of formats and codecs used in MKV. The file with the WEBM extension is an innovative video presentation format that was released in 2010. The copyright holder of this extension is Google. Native WebM support in Mozilla Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome was announced at the 2010 Google I / O conference. But high video quality and low file weight have already earned him a solid reputation. The format was supported in HTML5 and was originally intended for placement on web pages.
