About the formats
MPEG video
MPG (MPEG-1/2) is a classic video format behind VCDs, DVDs and broadcast. It is widely playable but uses older compression that yields larger files than modern codecs.
Strengths
- Very broad player support
- Reliable, well-understood format
- Good for DVD/broadcast
Limitations
- Larger files than H.264
- Dated compression
- Not ideal for the web
Best for: DVD and legacy video workflows — converted to MP4 for streaming.
FLAC audio
FLAC is a lossless format that compresses audio with no quality loss — typically to about half the size of WAV. It is the audiophile choice for archiving music.
Strengths
- Lossless, full quality
- Smaller than WAV
- Rich metadata and tagging
Limitations
- Larger than lossy formats
- Not supported by every player
- Overkill for casual listening
Best for: Archiving and high-fidelity music libraries where quality must be preserved.
