MOV File Extension

Are you confused by all the video file formats around? Do you feel overwhelmed by all the file extensions such as .avi, .mpeg, .wav , .mov and more when all you want to do is to play a simple video? If you have a video clip that has a .mov file extension, and look it up to find out it is a video container file format, unless you’re familiar with the terminology, this may not tell you much. The fact is “A container format is a computer file format that can control various types of data compressed by means of standardized audio/video codecs.” A codec is a coder-decoder which reads and interprets or translates the digital data. (Wikipedia) and a file extension identifies the type of file to the computer operating system, so it knows what software to use to open the file.

Now that you have a starting point, it may make more sense to discover that.mov is a digital video file format used for video files, proprietary to Apple Computers. It is used by Apple Quicktime to “create, view, edit and playback multimedia files. Quicktime format can contain video, animation, graphics, 3D and virtual reality content.” (File-Extension) If you don’t have Apple Quicktime, you can play .mov files with the Quicktime Player, which is available as a free download, for both Mac and Windows computers.

If you prefer to stay with a player you are familiar with such as Windows Media Player, you can covert .mov files to files that WMP will play such as .avi files. “Many digital cameras use .mov for their video clips.” (Jake Ludington) So, if you have a video clip that you want to play on WMP, you can use a free converter such as Xilisoft Video Converter that can convert your .mov files to .avi files that you can edit, view and playback. This software even allows you to convert .mov files to compatible formats for your iPhone or Sony PSP, so you can play your videos on a mobile device. (Top Video Pro)

Users report few problems with .mov files, with the most common complaint being trying to open them without the proper software. If you have any problems, first check to see if you have Quicktime installed and if not, download it free from numerous Internet sources. If this still does not work “In case you have problems with playing your .mov files, try to convert them to more common video formats.” (Cool Utils)
