MOV

Apple QuickTime Movie

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.
APE

AVS Plugin Effects File

The data compression to get a lossless audio, a file format and an algorithm used is APE, also known as Monkey's Audio. This compression can retain data and not suffer losses during its compression as opposed to the other compressions with losses such as MP3, Musepack, ACC, and Vorbis. It encodes and compresses the audio to reduce transfer time, storage space. The audio extension APE is used for an audio file to track the metadata. The format is available freely for users possessing media players and playback plugins.

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 source code for APE is not considered as an open source. It has a symmetrical algorithm, a process of an encoding comparable decoding which makes the files not suitable for fast players for example Rockbox. To cover this, an independent GPL code is written for and is added in FFmpeg. It also provides limited support to software other than the ones for Windows.
