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.
The 3GP file format and its associated filename extension .3gp is an audio, video, and text container developed by the 3rd generation partnership project. The target market for the 3gp file format is 3G enabled UMTS mobile phones through associated UMTS multimedia services. Though mobile devices operating on high speed networks are the intended hardware associated with playing .3gp files, many PC codec packs exist which grant compatibility for .3gp playback. The format has a basic profile in which files of this format do not reference any external media sources and support for audio, video, and text is limited to a single track.

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.
The 3gp format is standardized in the ETSI technical specification in which support for it is implied in IMS, MMS, PSS, and MBMS carrier services. The format is based upon the ISO/IEC 14496-12-MPEG-4 part 12 standard. As such, video streams in the 3gp format can be encoded in mpeg-4 part 2 or mpeg-4 part 10. Audio streams can be encoded in AMR- narrow band, AMR-wide band, AAC-LC and others.
