WMF at a glance
WMF
Convert to WMF when preserving compatibility with older Windows document workflows, embedded legacy graphics, or archive recovery tasks where that classic metafile format is still expected.
It is useful as a bridge for historical Office-era vector assets.
For contemporary vector exchange, EMF, SVG, or PDF are usually more practical.
MPG at a glance
MPG
Convert to MPG when a device, archive, or legacy workflow explicitly expects MPEG program-stream style video, especially for standard-definition material and older distribution paths.
It is a sensible target for compatibility and recovery work.
For mainstream modern playback, MP4 is usually the more convenient container.
