About MPEG
MPEG files (.mpg, .mpeg) are MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 program streams, the standards behind Video CD and DVD video.
Older camcorders, DVD-era video files and broadcast archives.
MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 compress far less efficiently than H.264, so the files are large for their quality.

Why does my MPEG video look soft on a modern screen? MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 were designed for VCD and DVD resolution, so upscaling a 576-line picture to 4K shows every limitation of the era.
About Ogg Video
Ogg Video (OGV) is the open Ogg container from the Xiph.Org Foundation holding Theora video, usually with Vorbis audio.
Open-source projects and Wikimedia Commons, which accepts video only in free formats.
Theora compresses less efficiently than modern codecs, and Apple devices do not play OGV natively.
Why convert video to OGV? For websites that standardise on open formats: Firefox and Chrome play it without patented codecs.
