Can’t find a MPG player app for your Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2? Here is an alternative way- Convert MPG (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4) to Surface playable format.
“I can view H.264 MP4 or 3GP videos directly on my Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2, but I can’t seem to find a player that will play MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 encoded videos on it. I have downloaded and tried at least 5 different media players, and none of them will play my MPG files correctly. Am I doing something wrong?”
MPEG refers to a set of standards created by the Moving Picture Experts Group. MPEG-1 is a video and audio compression format, used in Video CDs. MPEG-2 specified 2 container formats, ts and ps. And MPEG-4 is a form of MPEG encoding.
