Settings

Set the number of audio channels. This setting is most useful when downmixing channels (e.g., from 5.1 to stereo).
Set the sample rate of the audio. Music with a full spectrum (20 Hz — 20 kHz) requires values not lower than 44.1 kHz to achieve transparency. More info can be found on the wiki.
Adjust the audio volume by selecting a number of decibels. For example, -10 dB decreases the volume by 10 decibels.

mpg

MPG is a common file extension for video files encoded using the MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 compression standards, developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group. The three-character extension originated from early Windows and DOS file systems that restricted extensions to three characters, providing a shorthand for the longer MPEG designation. MPG files contain MPEG program streams that multiplex one video and one or more audio elementary streams into a unified byte stream with synchronization timestamps. The format was widely used throughout the 1990s and 2000s for storing digital video on personal computers, appearing in everything from Video CD rips and DVD extractions to digital TV recordings captured with hardware encoder cards. MPG files using MPEG-1 compression typically contain 352x240 (NTSC) or 352x288 (PAL) video at bit rates around 1.5 Mbps, while MPEG-2 encoded MPG files support higher resolutions up to full HD. The program stream structure assumes a relatively reliable storage medium, unlike the transport stream variant designed for broadcast, making it efficient for file-based playback without the overhead of error recovery packets. Broad compatibility is one of the enduring strengths of the format, as virtually every media player across all operating systems can decode these files without additional codec installation. MPG continues to be encountered in archived video content, surveillance recordings, and legacy digital video workflows.

flac

FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) delivers mathematically perfect audio reproduction at roughly half the size of an uncompressed WAV file. Maintained by the Xiph.Org Foundation and released in 2001, it quickly became the de facto open standard for lossless music archival. The encoder applies linear prediction to model each audio block, then codes the residual through Rice partitioning — exploiting the statistical distribution of prediction errors for strong compression without discarding data. Bit depths up to 32 and sample rates up to 655 kHz are supported, exceeding the requirements of high-resolution recordings. Hardware support is extensive: smartphones, car stereos, Blu-ray players, and virtually every desktop media application decode FLAC natively. Streaming services such as Tidal and Amazon Music use FLAC for lossless tiers, underscoring industry trust in the codec. Three standout benefits make FLAC compelling. First, complete bit-for-bit restoration of the original signal upon decoding. Second, embedded metadata via Vorbis comments and album art keeps libraries organized without sidecar files. Third, open-source licensing means no patents or royalties, removing legal friction for developers and hardware vendors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why extract FLAC from MPG?

FLAC preserves every detail of the original audio without compression losses — perfect for archiving soundtracks or music extracted from MPG sources.

Are FLAC files large?

FLAC is lossless but compressed, so files are roughly 50-60% the size of uncompressed WAV while retaining identical audio quality.

What plays FLAC files?

VLC, foobar2000, Winamp, most Android music players, and high-end audio hardware support FLAC natively.

Can I use FLAC for audio editing?

Absolutely. FLAC preserves full quality, making it an ideal source format for audio editing in DAWs like Audacity or Adobe Audition.

Is batch extraction available?

Upload several MPG videos and extract FLAC audio from each one simultaneously — streamline your lossless extraction workflow.
