Detail Teknis

MOV menggunakan struktur atom ISOBMFF yang sama dengan MP4, dengan ekstensi khusus Apple untuk track timecode, codec ProRes, dan metadata yang kaya. Atom moov dapat ditempatkan di awal untuk streaming fast-start.

Riwayat

Apple memperkenalkan QuickTime dan format MOV pada tahun 1991. Wadah MPEG-4 (MP4) kemudian diturunkan dari struktur berbasis atom QuickTime. MOV tetap sentral dalam Final Cut Pro Apple dan kamera iOS.
