How to convert QuickTime to MPEG on Mac?

MPEG, which stands for Moving Picture Experts Group, is the name of a family of standards used for coding audio-visual information (e.g., movies, video, music) in a digital compressed format. The major advantage of MPEG is that MPEG files are much smaller for the same quality thanks to its sophisticated compression techniques. MPEG files usually refer to MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4.
