MPEG-2 Video Extension is the official codec for Windows 10 that allows you to play MPEG-2 and MPEG-1 encoded videos. This video compression format is widely used in non-Full HD videos. For example, there are some videos in MP4 or MKV formats that are recorded using this codec. There are also videos in MPEG, MPG, TS, M2TS, and AVI formats that may cause problems.

Most third-party video players include all the codecs you need. However, the native Windows player does not include it. Therefore, if you want to watch videos in these formats with the Photos app or the Movies & TV app, you have to install this extension.

After installing it, you can watch videos with this codec and view thumbnails for the videos in File Explorer.

This extension is useful not only for playing videos that you have stored on your PC, but also for reading DVDs on your computer. MPEG-2 was the format used to encode movies on the discs that came before Blu-ray. Therefore, after installing this codec, you'll have no problem playing any movies you own on DVD. So, if you want to play any videos in this format, don't hesitate to install MPEG-2 Video Extension.
