MOV

Apple QuickTime Movie

The .mov multimedia format is a MPEG-4 video container commonly associated with Apple’s QuickTime framework. It is the movie file format most commonly praised for bringing feature length in-color movies to the Macintosh with the initial release of QuickTime in 1991. This was before anything comparable was available for the personal computer and Microsoft Windows operating system. This movie format supports multiple sequences of data or tracks categorized into audio, video, effects, and text such as subtitles. A .mov file is considered a resource file. Thus it may or may not be final i.e. it may be self-contained where all video frames and or audio samples are within the file or it may refer to external sources such as other files or data streams using movie references.

MP4

MPEG-4 Video File

The MP4 file format and the .mp4 filename extension refer to the MPEG-4 part 14 digital multimedia format developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group. It is used as a multimedia container to wrap encoded digital video and audio streams, including subtitles and still images if required. In recent decades, the format has been popularized as one of the main standards for streaming media over the internet and other computer networks and for the digital distribution of large multimedia files. MP4 supports a large number of compression audio codecs allowing files in this format to maintain a relatively small size without discounting playback quality.
