What is Apple QuickTime movie?

Apple QuickTime movie is stored in the format of Apple QuickTime (.mov, .qt) which is a file format for storing and playing back movies with sound. Though developed and supported primarily by Apple Computer, the format of Apple QuickTime isn't limited to Macintosh operating systems. Apple QuickTime is also commonly used in Windows systems, and other types of computing platforms. In Windows, QuickTime movies usually appear with the .mov filename extension.

On February 11, 1998, the ISO approved the QuickTime file format as the basis of the MPEG-4 Part 14 container standard. By 2000, MPEG-4 Part 14 became an industry standard, first appearing with support in QuickTime 6 in 2002. Accordingly, the MPEG-4 container is designed to capture, edit, archive, and distribute media, unlike the simple file-as-stream approach of MPEG-1 and MPEG-2. Since 2002, Apple has started using MPEG-4 video encoding on its Apple QuickTime streams, producing much better, if not excellent, video quality.
