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.
EPUB at a glance
EPUB
Convert to EPUB when you need a flexible, reflowable ebook for wide distribution, library use, independent publishing, or archival storage of structured long-form text.
It is the right target for novels, manuals, educational content, and narrative works intended for multiple reading apps and devices.
Choose EPUB when portability and reader adaptability matter more than exact fixed-page layout.
