What is a .MPEG file?
The .MPEG file extension refers to a video file format known as MPEG Video. This format was developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG), which is why it's called MPEG. The files saved in this format contain both video and audio data. The data is compressed using MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 compression techniques, which help reduce the file size without losing much quality. MPEG files are commonly used for sharing videos on the Internet because they can be streamed and downloaded quickly.
