About MOV Files

A .mov file is a video stored in the Apple QuickTime Movie (MOV) format, a common video format among Apple users. MOV files typically contain video encoded with codecs like H.264 or HEVC, along with audio tracks, subtitles, and other media data. The format uses a flexible container structure that can store multiple tracks of different types, which is helpful for high-quality video playback and professional video editing.

MOV files are commonly used on macOS and iOS devices, as well as in professional video production environments where QuickTime is supported. While MOV files are widely compatible with Apple software, like QuickTime Player, iMovie, and Final Cut Pro, they may require conversion to other formats, such as MP4 or WMV, for use on Windows-based devices or for online streaming.
