What is MPEG-2?

A variant of the MPEG video and audio compression algorithm and file format, optimised for broadcast quality video. MPEG-2 was designed to transmit images using progressive coding at 4 Mbps or higher for use in broadcast digital TV and DVD. An MPEG-2 player can handle MPEG-1 data as well. MPEG-2 has been approved as International Standard IS-13818.

MPEG.ORG is an excellent source for additional information on MPEG format and usage.

To convert MPEG-2 video to other formats with River Past software, please have GPL MPEG-2 Decoder installed.

What is WAV?

The format for storing sound in files developed jointly by Microsoft and IBM. Support for WAV files was built into Windows 95 making it the de facto standard for sound on PCs. WAV sound files end with a.wav extension and can be played by nearly all Windows applications that support sound.
