MPEG or MPG is a popular format for movies distributed over the internet. MPEG stands for Moving Picture Experts Group and was established in 1988. In 1993, MPEG created MPEG-1, the initial version of MPEG video and audio compression. Both MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 compression standards have been utilized in encoding video for over-the-air digital television broadcasts, DVDs, and home movies. Using MPEG compression, the file size of a multimedia file can be significantly reduced with little noticeable loss in quality. This makes transferring files over the internet more efficient, which helps conserve internet bandwidth.
WMV stands for Windows Media Video and is a series of video codecs developed by Microsoft. WMV files are a part of the Windows Media framework. WMV version 9 was adapted for physical-delivery formats such as HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc. A WMV file uses the Advanced Systems Format (ASF) container format. The ASF container can optionally support digital rights management using a combination of elliptic curve cryptography key exchange. So while the WMV format is generally packed together into an ASF container, it can also be put into the Matroska[6] container format. The first version of the format, WMV 7, was introduced in 1999, and was built upon Microsoft's implementation of MPEG-4 Part 2

Once your mpeg video is uploaded (it doesn't have to be mpeg, we will automatically detect the format if it's different), you will see a progress bar.
In a matter of seconds (typically) you will see the video, with it's metadata on the right. At the top of the metadata you will see a format dropdown button. The default will be wmv, but you can change the format on the fly, once you're happy, you can click the convert button.
