MPG uses the MPEG program stream container with MPEG-1/MPEG-2 codecs from the VCD and DVD era, while MOV (QuickTime Movie) is Apple's professional video container used throughout the macOS creative ecosystem. MOV supports H.264, ProRes, and many other codecs with professional features like timecode tracks and edit lists. Converting MPG to MOV brings legacy disc and broadcast content into Apple's professional video editing pipeline.
Final Cut Pro, Motion, Compressor, and other Apple professional tools are optimized for MOV containers. While these tools can often import MPG, the MPEG-2 codec may not be fully supported for all editing features. Converting to MOV with H.264 or ProRes ensures full compatibility with Apple's professional workflow, including proper timeline editing, effects processing, and render pipeline integration.
FFmpeg decodes MPEG-1/2 video (with deinterlacing for interlaced sources) and re-encodes to H.264 or ProRes (for editing workflows) with AAC audio in the MOV container. For editing, ProRes 422 LT is recommended as it provides consistent quality for timeline editing. For distribution, H.264 at 5-8 Mbps provides excellent quality at reasonable file sizes. The MOV container adds proper timecode tracks and edit lists.
ProRes 422 LT produces visually lossless quality at approximately 100 Mbps for 1080p — massive files but perfect for editing. H.264 at 5-8 Mbps provides excellent distribution quality at much smaller sizes. Both represent a codec upgrade from MPEG-1/2, with H.264 offering roughly 2x the compression efficiency of MPEG-2.
