  (Asked by: username_0 on 2017-06-08)
  
  I have an `input.mpg` file which is encoded in `H264`. I am told that it is `MPEG-TS` and used for broadcasting. But according to [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG_transport_stream), a `MPEG-TS` file ends in `.ts`, `.tsv` or `.tsv`.
  
  What is .mpg?
