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 advanced audio coding audio format or AAC format for short is a standardized audio encoding format designed to succeed the popularized mp3 format. It is the result of the collaborative efforts of several companies including bell labs, Nokia, and Sony among others. It was initially released in 1997 as part of the lossy digital audio compression family of audio encoding formats. AAC enjoys a wealth of native compatibility and support by different platforms, hardware, and software applications including video game consoles such as the PlayStation 3, Nintendo DSi, and platforms such as Android, and YouTube. Today even diverse hardware such as in dash car audio players have native support for the format.

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 AAC supports stereo playback at a maximum and acceptably modest 96 kilobits per second. Sample frequencies can range from 8 to 96 kilo hertz, and maximum number of supported channels is 48. Resulting AAC file sizes are typically smaller in comparison with those of its closest rival format mp3.
