How to convert MPG to MOV in Mac OS X

Digital Movies can be stored in a variety of formats on a computer, including MPG and MOV . MPG is a compression format that saves on an audio and video track on another track, while MOV is a compression format developed by Apple that stores video and audio on the same track.
