ffmpeg is probably what you're looking for.

If you mean to change only the container format then I believe the following 
command will work:

$ ffmpeg -i foo.avi -f mov -acodec copy -vcodec copy foo.mov

Otherwise if you want to transcode the video to those commonly associated with 
the mov container format than the following command should do the trick:

$ ffmpeg -i foo.avi foo.mov

Reading some ffmpeg documentation would be a good idea as well.
