Format MOV

The QuickTime Movie format was developed by Apple in 1991 as the native container format for their QuickTime player. Originally designed for Macintosh systems, it has become one of the most widespread video formats in the professional creative industry.

The .mov utilizes a sophisticated modular architecture based on "atoms" that can contain different types of media, including video, audio, subtitles, and metadata. This flexibility allows storing high-quality videos with various codecs like ProRes, H.264, or DV while preserving excellent image quality.

Particularly valued in the world of post-production and professional video editing, the .mov format has become a de facto standard in the film and television industry. Its ability to maintain high quality while allowing for non-destructive editing makes it a preferred choice for professional editing software. However, its main limitation lies in the large file sizes, especially when using professional codecs.

Though initially developed for the Apple ecosystem, the .mov format is now widely compatible with most operating systems and media players. This universality, combined with its quality and flexibility, makes it a still relevant choice for audiovisual professionals, despite the emergence of newer formats.

Format WEBM

WebM format is an open-source multimedia container format developed by Google in 2010. Initially created as part of the WebM/VP8 project, it was specifically designed to meet the needs of web streaming.

Technically, WebM encapsulates videos compressed in VP8 or VP9, as well as audio in Vorbis or Opus format. This combination provides efficient compression while maintaining high visual quality. The format is based on a simplified version of the Matroska (MKV) container, giving it a robust and flexible structure.

One of the main advantages of WebM lies in its royalty-free nature, allowing usage without royalties, unlike some proprietary formats. This feature, combined with its excellent compression rate, makes it a preferred choice for HTML5 video, particularly for platforms like YouTube. It is particularly effective for live content streaming and video on demand.

While the format is widely supported by modern browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Opera, its main limitation remains its limited compatibility with Safari and some iOS devices, sometimes necessitating the provision of alternatives such as MP4. Despite this, WebM continues to gain popularity, notably due to its streaming performance and excellent quality-to-size ratio, making it a promising format for web video.
