MOV Video Format

MOV Converter

MOV is a video file format that was designed for Apple’s QuickTime Movie Player. MOV files are container files that can include video (usually with the MPEG-4 codec) and audio, as well as metadata including subtitles, text, time stamps and pictures. MOV uses ‘lossy’ compression and it’s optimised for streaming, sharing or storing on mobile devices.

Although MP4 has become an ISO open standard format for videos, MOV is also a very common video type, especially as it’s often the default format for iPhones and iPads to record video in. MOV files can be played by most media players, and you can usually import and edit MOV files with iMovie, QuickTime, VLC, or with Adobe Express, as well as with a few other video editors. You can also upload MOV files to YouTube and most social channels without any problems.

MP3 Audio Format

MP3 Converter

MP3 is the most common format for storing and playing digital music. It’s short for ‘MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3’, and it was developed in the early 1990s as a way of compressing audio to create smaller files that could be easily shared and stored without losing too much sound quality.

MP3 is a universal format maintained by the International Office for Standardization (ISO). MP3 tracks will play on almost any device and with most media players, including Windows Media Player and Apple Music. Digital music took off in the 1990s and 2000s, and many users used media players to ‘rip’ CDs, or download tracks from sites like Napster, turning MP3 into the most common audio format. Because MP3 uses ‘lossy’ compression that can’t be reversed, some music listeners prefer to use other formats such as FLAC, even if the file sizes are bigger.
