About QuickTime (MOV)
MOV is the QuickTime container format from Apple. MP4 was based on it, so the two share the same structure, but MOV is also used for editing codecs such as Apple ProRes.
iPhones and many cameras record MOV, and editors such as Final Cut Pro export it.
Outside Apple software, MOV files that use ProRes or other professional codecs often do not play without extra software.
