About formats

MJPEG (Motion JPEG) is a video compression format in which each frame is independently compressed as a separate JPEG image. Unlike interframe codecs that exploit temporal redundancy between successive frames, MJPEG treats every frame as a standalone photograph, applying the discrete cosine transform compression familiar from still image JPEG encoding. This approach dates back to 1992, coinciding with the establishment of the JPEG standard itself, and was widely adopted as one of the earliest practical methods for compressing digital video. The intraframe-only nature of MJPEG carries several practical benefits: any frame can be accessed and edited independently without decoding neighboring frames, making it exceptionally well-suited for video editing and applications requiring frame-accurate random access. MJPEG is commonly used in IP cameras, security surveillance systems, medical imaging, and industrial machine vision, where individual frame integrity and low processing latency outweigh the higher bandwidth requirements compared to modern interframe codecs. The format achieves typical compression ratios of 10:1 to 20:1 while maintaining good visual quality, though at significantly higher bit rates than temporal compression methods for equivalent quality. MJPEG streams can be delivered over HTTP, making them straightforward to implement in web-based monitoring applications, and the simplicity of the codec ensures reliable decoding even on resource-constrained embedded hardware.
Initial release: 1992
SMP is the native file format of SampleVision, a sample editing application developed by Turtle Beach Systems around 1990. SampleVision was among the first PC-based visual sample editors, letting musicians view waveforms on screen and perform cut, copy, paste, and loop-point editing — capabilities previously limited to expensive dedicated hardware samplers. The SMP format stores 16-bit mono PCM audio along with sampling-specific metadata: loop start and end points, sustain loops, release loops, and MIDI root note assignments. This made SMP files directly useful for creating and exchanging patches between hardware samplers via MIDI Sample Dump Standard (SDS) transfers, which SampleVision automated through its interface. A primary advantage was bridging the PC world with professional sampling hardware from Akai, E-mu, Ensoniq, and Roland — devices that had tiny screens and minimal editing tools. The format also supported common sample rates (22050, 44100 Hz) and brief text descriptions alongside audio data. Though Turtle Beach pivoted to gaming peripherals and SampleVision was discontinued, SMP files persist in vintage sample library archives and can be converted using SoX.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I convert MJPEG to SMP?

Ripping the audio track from an MJPEG video into SMP saves you from storing the oversized video when you only need the sound.

How can I play SMP files?

Turtle Beach tools and compatible audio editors can open SMP audio sample files.

Can I choose the audio bitrate?

Yes. Adjust the bitrate, sample rate, and channel count before converting to get the SMP quality that suits your listening needs.

Is registration necessary?

No. Basic conversions work without an account. Signing up is optional and provides access to extended features and larger uploads.

Will the audio quality match the original?

You can set the output bitrate to match or exceed the original audio quality. Higher settings preserve more detail from the MJPEG source.

How fast is the audio extraction?

Audio extraction is quicker than full video conversion since only the sound track is processed. Most files are done within seconds.
