About MPG and MOV
MPG: MPG (MPEG) is the classic video format of VCDs, DVDs and older camcorders, playable on almost any DVD player.
MOV: MOV is Apple's QuickTime format and the default for videos recorded on iPhone. Recent iPhones record MOV files in HEVC (H.265), which many Windows PCs and older Android phones can't play.
