Settings

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.
Adjust the audio volume by selecting a number of decibels. For example, -10 dB decreases the volume by 10 decibels.

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.

wv

WavPack is an open-source audio codec created by David Bryant, with version 1.0 released on August 15, 1998. What sets WavPack apart is its unique hybrid mode: the encoder can simultaneously produce a compact lossy file and a separate correction file that, when combined, reconstruct the original PCM stream bit-for-bit. Users who need portability carry just the lossy file; those who want archival quality keep both. The codec handles PCM audio from 8-bit to 32-bit integer and 32-bit floating point, with sample rates up to 768 kHz — specifications broad enough for DSD content, which WavPack 5 added support for. Compression ratios in pure lossless mode typically reach 40 to 55 percent of the original size, competitive with FLAC and often slightly better on certain material. Multicore encoding in later versions dramatically speeds up processing on modern hardware. The open-source library ships under a BSD license and has been integrated into foobar2000, VLC, FFmpeg, and numerous other tools. WavPack also supports rich metadata through APEv2 tags, embedded cue sheets, and ReplayGain values, covering the organizational needs of even the most meticulous music library.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why extract WavPack from MPG?

WavPack offers lossless compression that is smaller than FLAC in many cases, plus a unique hybrid mode for flexible quality-size trade-offs.

What plays WV files?

Foobar2000, VLC, Winamp (with plugin), and many audiophile music players support WavPack natively.

Is WavPack better than FLAC?

Both are lossless. WavPack offers a hybrid lossy+correction mode that FLAC lacks, giving more flexibility in storage management.

Can I choose compression level?

The converter provides quality settings that influence the compression ratio — higher compression takes slightly longer but saves space.

Is batch conversion available?

Upload multiple MPG files and extract WV audio from each simultaneously in a single session.
