The mpg4 file extension is associated with the MPEG-4 multimedia format. This is an International Standards Organization specification for multimedia compression, authoring and delivery. The MPEG-4 format contains encoded video and audio. MPG4 is a container allowing combining multimedia streams into a single file.
MPG4 files use MPEG-4 video compression from the Moving Picture Experts Group. This is less common than MP4. MPEG-4 encodes audio with Advanced Audio Coding, also used in AAC files. It encodes video with MPEG-4.
MPG4 files open in programs like QuickTime Player and VLC media player. Other compatible programs exist too. Files may incorrectly associate with the wrong programs. This causes errors opening or no program found.
Issues opening MPG4 files can come from file corruption, missing registry entries, incomplete installations, malware infection or insufficient hardware resources. Updated drivers may be needed.
