What is MP4?

MP4, or MPEG-4 Part 14, is a widely used digital multimedia container format designed to store video, audio, subtitles, and still images. It supports high-quality video compression using codecs like H.264 or H.265 and audio formats such as AAC or MP3. MP4 files are compatible with nearly all devices and platforms, including smartphones, computers, web browsers, and media players, making it one of the most versatile and accessible video formats available. Unlike M4V, MP4 typically does not include DRM protection, allowing for broader sharing and playback flexibility.

What is MOV?

MOV is a multimedia file format developed by Apple and primarily used with its QuickTime framework. It is commonly used to store video, audio, and text (such as subtitles) in a single file. MOV files support high-quality video and are often used in professional video editing due to their ability to maintain excellent visual fidelity. The format uses codecs like H.264 or Apple ProRes and is widely compatible with macOS and iOS devices. While MOV works best within Apple’s ecosystem, it can also be played on Windows and other platforms with appropriate software or conversion.
