Clever FFMpeg to mpg...problem.

[JEG41]

I often use Clever FFMpeg to convert to mkv or mp4. I'd also like to convert to mpg, but I'm having trouble. When I select mpg, I get an error message and a request to use a different container. Is there a way to convert to mpg anyway?

When multiplexing or recoding?
If it happens during multiplexing, the problem is in the message.
One or more codecs (video, audio, subtitles) are not compatible with the mpg container.
If you still need mpg, you must recode the corresponding stream with a compatible format.

Post a mediainfo report (text mode) of your video here and I'll tell you which stream(s) to change.

Did you recieved my uploads. If not, I do something wrong.

Your video is
videostream: avc (h264)
audiostream: aac
subtitle: text

The mpg container supports:
videostream: mpeg1, mpeg2
audiostream: mp2,mp3,ac3
subtitle: none.

For an mpg you must:
convert the videostream to mpeg2
convert the audiostream to ac3
mux both converted streams to mpg.

I understand from your answer that it's better not to convert to MPG with Clever. I'll just keep converting to MP4 or MKV with Clever. Thanks for the information.

MPEG-PS may support any video/audio codec as private data stream and as such MPEG-TS stream identifiers can be used.
Probably better than MPEG-PS is to use MPEG-TS so no video/audio re-encoding is required.
