File with 264 extension contains RAW video data, typically from CCTV cameras, IPs, or DVR devices. 264 files can be also created as a result of using video ripping or conversion tools. Such 264 files are only temporary files. Data in 264 file is typically encoded using MPEG-4 / H.264 codec.
Files with MPG extensions store audio and video data along with related metadata compressed using lossless compression method MPEG-1 or MPEG-2. MPG files is a stream media container encoded using MPEG standard for streaming.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the 264 file after converting to MPG may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from 264 to MPG to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting 264 to MPG does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in 264 format, properly converted to a MPG file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file 264 the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of 264 file to other than MPG. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your 264 file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to MPG on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the 264 file in its original format (without conversion to MPG file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
