how to change .mov to mpeg or avi?

[fiveohpatrol]

Personally, I prefer quicktime, but not everyone has it, and I want to share some movies from my digital camera online, and it only takes .mov movies.

Is there anyway to change the file format? I've tried just renaming the file from movie.mov to movie.mpeg, but that doesn't work.

Also, is there an easy way (maybe with quicktime?) to compress the files?

thanks,
