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.
WPS at a glance
WPS
Convert to WPS only when maintaining compatibility with inherited Microsoft Works documents or older systems that still expect that format.
In most current workflows the practical goal is to extract and migrate WPS content into DOCX, ODT, or PDF.
Use it as a legacy bridge, not a preferred modern target.
