Rehousing MPEG recordings in MKV modernizes DVD-era captures without touching the video — the MPEG-2 stream copies over bit-for-bit. Along the way the files gain proper metadata, chapters, and subtitle support their .mpg wrappers never had.

Why convert MPEG to MKV?
- Archive TV captures and digitized discs in a container Jellyfin, Plex, and Kodi index cleanly.
- Attach episode titles, chapters, and subtitles to raw .mpg recordings that carried none.
- Consolidate a legacy capture-card library into the same format as the rest of a media collection.
Tip: Two valid strategies: a lossless remux (fast, keeps MPEG-2, large files) or a one-time H.265 re-encode that shrinks recordings by 70-80% — for irreplaceable footage, remux first and keep that as the master.
