The Matroska video file format, .mkv, is an open source video file container which is part of the larger open source Matroska Multimedia Container which includes .mka (audio), .mks (subtitles), and .mk3D (stereoscopic video). It was first developed in 2002 and is today favored by many video authors because of the size of produced files. In 2010 the mkv format became the basis of the popular browser independent open format called WebM with several free video players providing playback support for video files encoded in .mkv. Microsoft Windows does not have native support for .mkv video files but there are plans to include native playback support in Microsoft's upcoming operating system Windows 10.
The .mov multimedia format is a MPEG-4 video container commonly associated with Apple's QuickTime framework. It is the movie file format most commonly praised for bringing feature length in-color movies to the Macintosh with the initial release of QuickTime in 1991. This was before anything comparable was available for the personal computer and Microsoft Windows operating system. This movie format supports multiple sequences of data or tracks categorized into audio, video, effects, and text such as subtitles. A .mov file is considered a resource file. Thus it may or may not be final i.e. it may be self-contained where all video frames and or audio samples are within the file or it may refer to external sources such as other files or data streams using movie references.

Any video player that supports DirectShow parser filters can play .mkv files once the correct decoder filers for the video file are installed. Players such as VLC or Xine have native support for .mkv files which eliminates the need to install the DirectShow decoder filter onto the operating system. The .mkv file format is capable of supporting chapter points, subtitles, different audio streams, video, and well as metadata such as file descriptions, synopsis, cover art and more.
As per the original specification by apple, QuickTime movie files, .mov files, are stored and encoded as binary data. The format supports both nonlinear interactive media as well as time based media. The format is highly extensible and is structured through a collection of atoms, not all of which are required to play the contents of the .mov file.
