I always thought .mov and .mp4 were the same quality standard and interchangeable on most platforms and software?
The main difference between these two container formats is that MOV is mostly for use within Mac environments. MOV is a proprietary Apple file format for QuickTime, while MP4 is an international standard. ... But on other types of devices, video MOV files need to be converted to MP4s or another file format.
Encoded with the same codec MPEG-4, MP4 is similar to MOV. Actually, MP4 was developed on the basis of MOV file format. Both are lossy and can be used in the QuickTime environment. ... Therefore, MP4 is more flexible than MOV.
