MPEG to MP3

Software for converting MPEG to MP3 and the detailed guide to achieve that.

If you love the theme music of a film very much and want to play back it on your MP3 player or keep it on a CD, you first should use a converter to convert film format MPEG to audio format MP3. I will introduce MPEG and MP3 definitions to help you understand their relations.

MP3 is an acronym for MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 audio layer 3. MP3 is the file extension for MPEG audio layer 3. Layer 3 is one of three coding schemes (layer 1, layer 2 and layer 3) for the compression of audio signals. Layer 3 uses perceptual audio coding and psychoacoustic compression to remove all superfluous information (more specifically, the redundant and irrelevant parts of a sound signal. The stuff the human ear doesn't hear anyway). The compression ratio is up to 12 to 1 compression, which produces high sound quality. The generated files are very suitable for streaming or downloading over the internet. And MP3 software is "open source" software, in the public domain and freely available on the internet, making MP3 the most popular way to distribute CD quality music on the internet.

MPEG is a set of standards used for coding audiovisual information (i.e., movies, music, and video) in a digital compressed format. Its main advantage compared to other video and audio coding formats is that MPEG files are much smaller for the same quality.

Now, I'd like to take the software ImTOO Video to Audio Converter as an example to tell you the step by step way of converting MPEG to MP3.
