MPG is the file extension for MPEG-1 and MPEG-2, so when we talk about converting MPG to MOV, we actually mean to convert MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 to MOV. iMovie and QuickTime claim to support to import MPEG-2, but users often encounter failure or unsmooth or iMove/QuickTime crash due to the MPEG-2 nature and MPEG-2 incompatibility far from that it claimed. When all these above happen, it is needed to convert MPG (MPEG-1 or MPEG-2) to iMovie or QuickTime more supported MOV.
The following guide will work to convert MPEG-1, MPEG-2 or any other unsupported video format to MOV, MP4, etc.
Free download the professional MPG to MOV Converter for Mac or Windows -iDealshare VideoGo(for Mac , for Windows), install and run it, the following interface will pop up.
We need to import the MPEG file that you want to convert to iDealshare VideoGo by clicking the "Add file" button or using the drag and drop function.
Select MOV as the output format by clicking "Profile" button >"General Video" category.
Finish your conversion from MPG(MPEG-1/MPEG-2) to MOV by finally clicking "Convert" button.
Converting MPG to MOV will be very easy if you get the right MPG to MOV converter. And iDealshare VideoGo is just the right one. Only three mouse clicks you can play the MPG files in QuickTime or edit the MPG files in iMovie without any problem.
