What is MPG?

MPG is a digital video file format that typically refers to MPEG-1 or MPEG-2, both developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). It uses the .mpg file extension and was widely used for video CDs, DVDs, and early online videos. MPG files offer good video and audio quality but use older compression methods, resulting in larger file sizes compared to modern formats like MP4. Despite being somewhat outdated, MPG remains compatible with many media players and devices.

What is MOV?

MOV is a multimedia container format developed by Apple, primarily used with its QuickTime framework. It can store multiple video, audio, and subtitle tracks in a single file, supporting high-quality playback and editing. MOV files often use advanced codecs like H.264 or Apple ProRes, making them ideal for professional video production and smooth playback on Apple devices. Because of its rich feature set and quality support, MOV is a preferred choice for macOS and iOS users, especially over older formats like MPG.
