What is MOV?
MOV is a multimedia container format developed by Apple, primarily used with the QuickTime framework. It can store video, audio, and text tracks such as subtitles in a single file. MOV files support high-quality video and are commonly used for professional video editing and playback on both Mac and Windows systems. They are known for maintaining excellent video quality but can have larger file sizes.
What is AVI?
AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is a multimedia container format created by Microsoft. It stores both audio and video data in a single file, allowing synchronized playback. AVI supports multiple codecs, but typically results in larger file sizes compared to more modern formats. It was widely used for video playback on Windows but has become less popular due to its limited compression efficiency.
