You can save rendered files in many formats including JPG if you want although I would recommend a lossless format instead like uncompressed .tiff or targa.
To save to a different format click on save as under the file menu of the render window.

As for a movie i would not recomend saving a file to a movie format straight out of Maya but insted save an image sequence and encode the movie using the sequence as you will get much better results.
Take a look at this free SM tutorial kindly made by Mike to help you with this exact process.

Maya's jpeg compression is pretty horrible last time i checked, your image will just end up looking like poo.

two words... Batch Render (you'll need to fiddle around with the render settings too)
