MPEG-2 at a glance
MPEG-2
Convert to MPEG-2 when the target environment is DVD authoring, broadcast playout, set-top compatibility, or archive migration from systems built around classic MPEG transport and program-stream workflows.
It remains useful anywhere older professional or consumer playback chains still explicitly expect MPEG-2 video.
