How to convert MPEG to M4B

  1. 1

    Choose your file

    Drop an MPEG file onto the converter, or pick one from your device. You can add several at once.

  2. 2

    Select M4B

    Pick M4B as the output format. Open Settings if you want to control the audio codec, the audio bitrate, and the sample rate, and 2 more.

  3. 3

    Download the result

    Convert and download the finished file. No account, and nothing to install.

mpeg

MPEG Program Stream

An older broadcast and DVD-era container, typically carrying MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video.

m4b

MPEG-4 Audiobook

An M4A that Apple Books and most audiobook apps treat as a book: they remember where you stopped and can play it faster.

MPEG to M4B, asked and answered

Does converting MPEG to M4B lose quality?

Yes. MPEG has already discarded some detail and M4B discards more, because re-encoding starts from what survived the first pass rather than from the original. If you need every detail kept, convert to WAV instead.

Can I convert the M4B back to MPEG?

No. M4B keeps the sound and throws the picture away, so there is nothing left to put back into an MPEG.

What can I change about the M4B it produces?

You can set the audio codec, the audio bitrate, the sample rate, mono or stereo, and where it starts and stops. Anything left on Auto is decided by the encoder, which is usually the right answer unless you are targeting a specific size or device.

Where does the conversion happen?

On our server. The file is sent over HTTPS and converted in a sandbox with no network access of its own; your input and the result go together, removed at once if it fails and otherwise kept for a few minutes so you can download them, then deleted — whether or not you did. There are no accounts for anything to be kept against.

Is there a limit on file size?

Yes — there is a per-file cap and an hourly job limit, because this runs on one small server. The API page states the limits currently in force rather than a number baked into this page.
