Can an AVI be a MPG file?
IS a MPG file the same as a MPEG2 file?
Will the properties tab tell me if an AVI is a MPEG2 video file?
THANKS!!

Hey Thanks!!
I meant does the ext. MPG mean that it is a MPEG file (either MPEG1 or MPEG2, are some other version of MPEG) and NOT some entirely different file format.
I mean could it be that MPG just so happen have the same letters as MPEG minus the E and NOT be specifically an MPEG type file?
also on the AVI, I was under the impression from this artical somewhere around here that went on to say that an AVI is just a container for video and it implied (or maybe said directly) that the specs for the video could be of varied characteristics and encoded methods. (unlike a MPEG2 file which is an MPEG2 file).
I know I am confused, but the article I read did it to me.
THANKS AGAIN!pcexpress-guy -
Actually, you know more than you realize. The extension ".mpg" means MPEG, which is what you already surmised. You have to use certain programs to ascertain whether it is an MPEG-1 or -2.
AVI is a form of video just as MPEG is. It also has differ formats as well, such DV AVI, DivX, XviD, Huffyuv, etc.Hello. -
Thanks!!
What tool will create MPG or AVI files from VOB's?
Thanks!pcexpress-guy -
A VOB contains a mpeg2 video stream, along with one or more audio streams (ac3/lpcm/mp2) and possibly one or many subtitle streams. So, you just have to demultiplex the VOB to get an mpg video file out of it. VobEdit & ReJig are 2 tools for this.
There's a version of VirtualDub that can take mpeg2 as source and encode to AVI, but you might find it simpler to use some dvd to avi application like EasyDivX...
