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 AVI file format is one of the most widely used multimedia containers ever devised. AVI, which stands for audio video interleaved, was first introduced to the public by Microsoft in 1992 as part of their 'video for windows' multimedia framework. Being a container format, an AVI file with the .avi filename extension can exist with both video and audio content synchronized for playback. The format can thus be used by authors to edit and encode audio video sequences or just video sequences. The Digital video AVI format exists in two forms, Type 1 and Type 2.

Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent AVI audio with dependable progress tracking.
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 AVI format was derived from the RIFF or resource interchange file format which is a generic container format. Digital video that is interleaved can be stored natively as a single stream conforming to the type-1 specification of the AVI file format. This has the disadvantage however of not being compatible with the video for windows framework. In general, the number of blocks in .avi files determine the amount of overhead. Overhead associated with the audio stream is determined by which codec is used to encode the stream for example AC3 or MP3-VBR.
