How to convert AVI to MPEG with WinX Free AVI to MPEG Converter How to convert AVI to MPEG with WinX Free AVI to MPEG Converter

Deciding over which video format to choose between AVI and MPEG can prove to be quite a hassle for some users. Let me help you out by asking you a simple question: what is the purpose of the video file? If you plan to edit the video data (actual editing, not cutting and trimming), then AVI is the way to go, because this old format is, basically, an uncompressed codec that encodes high quality video data and it can contain a lot information. In addition to that, AVI files are supported by almost all video editing applications that run on Windows-based systems.

If your goal is not video edition, then, the obvious choice is MPEG. MPEG is a video format, or, better said, a family of formats created by the Moving Pictures Expert Group that are used for compressing video data in small files, maintaining the highest possible quality. Therefore, MPEG videos are better suited for playback, transfer or storage compared to the large AVI video files. Among the filename extensions used by MPEG videos, you can find MP4, VOB, MPG or MPEG.
With that being said, the reason for converting AVI video files to MPEG formats is quite understandable and, to show you how to do that in a simple manner, I will be using WinX Free AVI to MPEG Converter 5.0 (Freeware) by Digiarty Software, Inc. I have chosen this application because it provides you with a simple, yet efficient method of turning a bunch of AVI videos into MPEG formats in no time.

Step 2.1

Modify the quality of the output video file by using the slide bar next to each conversion profile preset (low quality - faster conversion speed, higher quality - slower conversion speed).

You can merge the loaded files and convert them into a single video, use the high quality engine, choose how many CPU cores to be used during the conversion and enter the "Safe mode" if any problem occurs during the process.

Step 2.3

Change the pre-defined profile settings by clicking on the settings icon (the gear icon) next to loaded video file.
