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.

Why won't my MOV file play on Windows or Android? QuickTime containers often carry Apple-specific codecs such as ProRes, so converting to MP4 with H.264 makes the video play everywhere.
About Ogg Video
Ogg Video (OGV) is the open Ogg container from the Xiph.Org Foundation holding Theora video, usually with Vorbis audio.
Open-source projects and Wikimedia Commons, which accepts video only in free formats.
Theora compresses less efficiently than modern codecs, and Apple devices do not play OGV natively.
Why convert video to OGV? For websites that standardise on open formats: Firefox and Chrome play it without patented codecs.
