MOV

MOV/.mov is a videoContainer format forQuickTime.

The multimedia container file can hold multiple tracks, audio, video, effects or text files. EachTrack, regardless of type, has its own digitally-encoded media stream using a specificCodec.

QuickTime natively supportsAIFF,WAV,DV,MP3, andMPEG-1. Including extensions, QT can also supportOgg,ASF,FLV,MKV, andDivX Media Format.

MP4 was based on Apples MOV (Quicktime) container, which they were already using forMPEG-4 content. Rather than using a different type of file for elementary (separate video and audio) streams, MOV andMP4 use the same container regardless of how many or what type of streams are stored in it. Apple's iTunes online music store made audio only MP4 files a common site for consumers. Although not all portable media players can read them, Apple'sM4A extension (for audio only MP4 files) has become anonymous with audio.
