How to convert MPEG to MP3
MPEG files (.mpeg or .mpg) are video files encoded with the MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 codec. Extracting the audio track as MP3 is useful when you want the audio from an old video recording, a digitized VHS tape, or a DVD rip without keeping the video file. MP3 is the most compatible audio format for playback on any device.
BoltConverter extracts the audio from your MPEG file on its servers and encodes it as MP3. The video stream is discarded, and you receive an MP3 file containing the full audio track from the original video.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between MPEG and MPG?
They are the same format. MPG is just the older 8-character filename limitation version of the .mpeg extension. Both refer to MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video files.
Will the audio quality of the MP3 match the original?
The MPEG audio track (usually MPEG-1 Audio Layer II or AC3) is decoded and re-encoded as MP3. Some quality loss occurs in this re-encoding step, but at typical bitrates the difference in spoken audio is not noticeable.
Can I extract audio from an MPEG-2 DVD rip?
Yes. MPEG-2 files are handled. The first audio track is extracted.
Does this work for .mpg files recorded from old cameras?
Yes. Older digital camcorders and capture cards often produced .mpg files using MPEG-1 or MPEG-2, and the audio from these files can be extracted.
Is the MP3 file in sync with the original audio?
Yes. The audio timeline is preserved during extraction, so the MP3 audio matches the timing of the original recording.
