I. What are MOV and MPEG formats?

1. What is MOV format?

MOV, developed by Apple in 1998, is a video and audio format commonly associated with QuickTime. It uses the MPEG-4 codec for compression and supports multiple tracks for movies and other video files, each encoded with one or more codecs. MOV offers superior compatibility, running smoothly on both Mac and Windows platforms.

2. What is the MPEG format?

MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) was established by ISO and IEC in 1988 to standardize moving pictures (MPEG video) and their accompanying audio coding (MPEG audio).

MPEG is an international standard for moving image compression algorithms, supported by almost all computer platforms, including MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4.

MPEG-1 is widely used in VCD production. MPEG-2 is used in DVDs, HDTV, and demanding video editing/processing. MPEG-4, a newer algorithm, can compress a 120-minute movie into a 300 MB video stream for online viewing. The file extension for MPEG is usually .mpeg or .mpg.

After understanding the MOV and MPEG formats, let’s take a look at the two methods to convert MOV to MPEG.
