Settings

The codec to encode the audio track. Codec "Without reencoding" copies the audio stream from the input file into output without re-encoding if possible.
Set the number of audio channels. This setting is most useful when downmixing channels (e.g., from 5.1 to stereo).
Set the sample rate of the audio. Music with a full spectrum (20 Hz — 20 kHz) requires values not lower than 44.1 kHz to achieve transparency. More info can be found on the wiki.

mpg

MPG is a common file extension for video files encoded using the MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 compression standards, developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group. The three-character extension originated from early Windows and DOS file systems that restricted extensions to three characters, providing a shorthand for the longer MPEG designation. MPG files contain MPEG program streams that multiplex one video and one or more audio elementary streams into a unified byte stream with synchronization timestamps. The format was widely used throughout the 1990s and 2000s for storing digital video on personal computers, appearing in everything from Video CD rips and DVD extractions to digital TV recordings captured with hardware encoder cards. MPG files using MPEG-1 compression typically contain 352x240 (NTSC) or 352x288 (PAL) video at bit rates around 1.5 Mbps, while MPEG-2 encoded MPG files support higher resolutions up to full HD. The program stream structure assumes a relatively reliable storage medium, unlike the transport stream variant designed for broadcast, making it efficient for file-based playback without the overhead of error recovery packets. Broad compatibility is one of the enduring strengths of the format, as virtually every media player across all operating systems can decode these files without additional codec installation. MPG continues to be encountered in archived video content, surveillance recordings, and legacy digital video workflows.

wav

WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is an uncompressed audio container jointly developed by Microsoft and IBM, first published in August 1991 alongside Windows 3.1. Built on the Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF), WAV stores audio data — most commonly as linear pulse-code modulation (LPCM) — together with metadata describing sample rate, bit depth, and channel count. This straightforward structure has made WAV the de facto standard for uncompressed audio on Windows and a universally accepted interchange format across virtually every operating system, audio editor, and media player in existence. CD-quality WAV files use 16-bit samples at 44.1 kHz stereo, while professional workflows routinely employ 24-bit or 32-bit float samples at rates up to 192 kHz. A major advantage is zero-loss fidelity: because standard WAV applies no compression, the stored data is an exact digital representation of the original recording, making it the preferred choice for mastering and archiving. WAV also supports embedded metadata through INFO and BWF chunks, enabling timestamping and production notes. The main trade-off is file size — one minute of CD-quality stereo occupies roughly 10 MB — and the 32-bit RIFF structure imposes a 4 GB limit, though RF64 removes that ceiling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why extract WAV from an MPG video?

WAV preserves the full audio quality without compression. It is ideal when you need the soundtrack from an MPG for editing, sampling, or archiving.

Are WAV files large?

Yes — WAV is uncompressed, so files are significantly larger than MP3 or AAC. The trade-off is perfect lossless audio fidelity.

Can I choose mono or stereo output?

The converter lets you set the channel count. Pick stereo for music or mono for voice recordings to save space.

What programs open WAV files?

Any audio editor or player handles WAV — Audacity, Adobe Audition, VLC, Windows Media Player, and all major DAWs support it natively.

Does converting discard the video?

Yes. Only the audio track is extracted from the MPG and saved as WAV. The video portion is not included in the output.
