What is MPEG file?

MPEG .mpeg is a file format used by MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 digital video compression standards. In both standards, the MPEG file is a collection of frames of computerized audio and video encoded for low-bandwidth transmission over digital networks.

How to convert the file from MPEG to DIVX?

To successfully convert the MPEG file to DIVX, you should install one of the applications from the list.

The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case DIVX (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than DIVX).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. MPEG to DIVX. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting MPEG files to DIVX files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension DIVX, while before this step we had the MPEG file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new DIVX file, or not.
