FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
1 - Where can I play my MPEG1 or MPEG2 files? You can play your MPEG1 or MPEG2 files on your PC or MAC. But please note that in order to play MPEG2 files you need to have the right "codec" (some software to translate your MPEG2 files). Generally if you have installed a DVD play back software on your PC you will be able to play MPEG2 files. For Apple Mac computers you may require additional software to enable MPEG2 support. 2 - What file format can I use in PowerPoint presentations or similar? We recommend you use MPEG1 (Standard or Super) for your PowerPoint presentations. 3 - What is the best format for wider distribution? We recommend using MPEG1 for wider distribution. MPEG1 files can play on PCs or MACs and all necessary software already comes with your operating system. 4 - Can I edit my MPEG1 or MPEG2 files? We encode the MPEG1 and MPEG2 files in a suitable format for editing. Please check your video editing software to ensure it supports MPEG files.Note that Apple Mac users may require additional software to enable MPEG2 support. 5 - How will I know which MPEG1 format (Standard or Super) is best for my needs? We have prepared a short sample for each MPEG1 format and you can download these now by clicking on the following links. IMPORTANT: Once you have downloaded each file rename the ".XYZ" extension to ".MPG" before running the file. Note that these samples were taken from an 8 year old VHS tape. MPEG1 Standard Example - Download Size = 4MB MPEG1 Super Example - Download Size = 5.5MB 7 - How long does the conversion process take? Unless you have chosen one of our Rush Job options then you should expect your conversion to be completed within 3 to 5 working days from receipt. If you have submitted a large order then please let us know the order of urgency and we will send completed conversions to suite your deadlines or on a weekly basis. Top
