02 / what you get

What happens to your data

Kept

  • MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 video from old camcorders, TV recorders and DVD rips is read
  • The soundtrack as a 192 kbps MP3, which plays everywhere. Surround sound is mixed down to stereo
  • Title, artist and similar tags are copied when the video has them

Good to know

  • The picture is dropped: you get audio only.
  • A video with no audio track is refused with a message that says so.
  • Files up to 150 MB are accepted. Long or very high-resolution videos can take several minutes, and a conversion that runs past about 4 minutes is stopped with a message.

MPEG vs MP3

MPEG

An MPEG file is the same MPEG-1/MPEG-2 video as MPG, just with a longer extension. It comes from old camcorders, TV recorders and DVD-era video, and converting to MP4 makes it smaller and easier to share.

Used in: DVD-era video · Old camcorders

MP3

An MP3 file is the most common compressed audio format — small file size, works everywhere, though it loses some audio quality in the process. It's what you'll get from most music downloads, podcasts, and voice recordings.

Used in: Music downloads · Podcasts · Universal playback
