3G2 vs MPG: Quick Comparison

3G2 files come from older CDMA mobile phones (like Verizon devices from the 2000s). They use efficient compression designed for limited storage and bandwidth. MPG (MPEG-1/MPEG-2) is a widely-supported video format that works on DVD players, older computers, and media systems.

Converting 3G2 to MPG makes your videos playable on more devices, especially legacy hardware that doesn't recognize modern mobile formats.

When This Conversion Makes Sense

Best for: Playing old mobile videos on DVD players, burning to disc, or using with older media software that requires MPG format.

Consider alternatives: If you need modern compatibility, 3G2 to MP4 may be better for sharing online or playing on current devices.

Pro Tip

If your 3G2 videos have audio sync issues after conversion, they may have been recorded with variable frame rates. Converting through MPG standardizes the timing.

Common Mistake

Expecting HD quality from 3G2 files. These were recorded on early mobile phones with very low resolution. The conversion preserves what's there but can't add detail.

Best For

Burning old mobile phone memories to DVD for playback on TV, or archiving in a format that legacy software can process.

Not Recommended

Not ideal for sharing online or mobile viewing. For those uses, convert to MP4 instead for better compatibility with modern platforms.
