MPG is a common digital format that uses MPEG 1 or MPEG 2 compression formats. MPEG-1 primary use; compressing VHS-quality raw digital video and audio without excessive quality loss. MPEG-2 is featured in most digital television and DVD formats of high quality. MPG is essentially a compressed file format that has broad compatibility with the benefit of retaining good quality. Apple created MOV for use with the macOS, specifically with QuickTime media player and iTunes. MOV is also compatible with all Apple devices, such as iPhone and iPad. So why should you convert an MPG to a MOV? In terms of compatibility, MPG sees broader support; however, MPG has limits when used with Apple devices or computers. For video editing purposes in macOS, MOV is the hands-down choice as it's the format's intended purpose. Converting your MPG to MOV is recommended if you're a video editing enthusiast who primarily uses Apple devices.
