Converting .mpg Files to .avi Files with avidemux
If you have a *.mpg file, which contains MPEG-2 video and MPEG-1 Layer 2 audio as required, it can
be converted to *.avi by using the tool “avidemux” very easily. If you are not sure, if the correct
audio and video elementary streams are used, you can verify and change it with TMPGEnc.
The following steps have to be performed:
Open the *.mpg file with “File -> Open …”
A dialog “This looks like mpeg. Do you want to index it?” appears. Click “Yes”.
Use the default settings in the “Video”, “Audio” and “Format” drop down menus (see also
