MPQ is Blizzard's archive file. It contains many files within it. If you want to view any files within it, you'll need an MPQ viewer.

I think it's part of the program inside.

Extract both files to the desktop and run MPQView.exe and tell us what happens.

I think maybe somebody is getting mixed up between mpg and mpq. Because lower case gee and lower case kew look similar?

You might as well as "why can't I play a Word document in Windows Media Player?". Or, "How come I can't run my car on Gatorade?". Or, "Why can't I watch TV programs on my refrigerator?".

An MPQ file holds compressed graphics, sounds, sprites, etc. Think of it as an archive of the all game-related things. MPQ archives were first introduced with the game Diablo but are now used in various games.

An MPG file is a type of compressed video file. They are different.
