What is AC3?
AC-3, branded Dolby Digital, is a lossy multichannel audio codec widely used in DVDs, digital TV, and cinema. It supports up to 5.1 channels (with optional matrixed 6.1 “EX”) at 32–48 kHz sample rates and bitrates from ~96 to 640 kbps; DVD typically uses 192–448 kbps. AC-3 carries metadata like dialog normalization, dynamic-range control, and downmix coefficients so playback stays balanced on everything from TVs to AV receivers. Files may appear as raw .ac3 bitstreams or embedded inside containers such as VOB, TS/M2TS, MKV, and MP4. Almost all home-theater gear, game consoles, and set-top boxes decode AC-3 natively; for web delivery, it’s often transcoded to AAC. Note: E-AC-3 (Dolby Digital Plus) is a newer, more efficient variant used in streaming.
What is MPEG?
MPEG (.mpeg or .mpg) usually refers to the MPEG-1/2 Program Stream container plus its classic video codecs. An .mpeg file typically holds MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video with MP2/MP3 (or sometimes AC-3) audio, multiplexed for smooth playback on computers, set-top boxes, and legacy DVDs/VCDs. The compression is lossy and block-based, great for the era of low bitrates, but less efficient than modern H.264/AVC or HEVC at the same quality. Most players—VLC, Windows apps, QuickTime, and many TVs—open MPEG natively; editors can often remux to MP4 or MKV without re-encoding if codecs are supported. Note that MPEG-2 Transport Streams use .ts or .m2ts, and MPEG-4 files usually use .mp4, not .mpeg. Converting old MPEG to MP4 (H.264/AAC) yields smaller files and broader web compatibility.
