Description	🔵 Originally built as the foundation for Apple’s QuickTime framework, MOV has grown far beyond its Mac-only roots. Nowadays, it’s a cross-platform staple that plays just as nicely with Windows as it does with macOS. What makes it a favorite among pros is its 'container' logic—it doesn’t just store a video clip; it acts more like a digital folder that can bundle together multiple audio tracks, text overlays, and specialized effects without breaking a sweat.
Technical details	🔵 The way MOV handles data is actually pretty clever. It uses a hierarchical structure made up of elements called atoms. Think of these as modular blocks: some atoms hold the actual media, while others tell the player how to sync the audio or where the edits are located. Because these atoms can act independently or be nested together, the format is incredibly flexible for both playback and heavy-duty editing. It's also worth noting the DNA MOV shares with modern formats; both MPV and MP4 are built on the same MPEG-4 foundation, which is why they all feel right at home in QuickTime. The format has come a long way since the early days, too. While the first QuickTime players were basically just for 'viewing', the format evolved into a professional-grade tool that handles complex metadata, exports, and high-end post-production workflows.

Description	🔵 HEVC (H.265) is essentially the heavy-duty engine behind modern 4K streaming. It was built with one brutal objective: slash bitrates by 50% without turning the image into a blocky disaster. The codec is a processing beast that achieves this through a 'work smarter' architecture, leveraging parallel decoding so modern multi-core CPUs can actually handle the massive computational load without stuttering.
Technical details	🔵 The real shift here is the jump from old-school 16x16 macroblocks to Coding Tree Units (CTUs). These can scale up to 64x64, which is a massive efficiency win. It allows the codec to be 'lazy' where it can—using huge blocks for simple areas like a clear sky—while getting surgical with tiny blocks for high-detail textures. Under the hood, HEVC is doing some insane math. It blends intraframe and interframe prediction inside each CTU, using high-level motion estimation to guess where pixels are moving before they even get there. This is how you get that 'magic' 50% file size reduction compared to H.264. To stop your hardware from melting, it uses parallel decoding, splitting the stream across multiple processing units simultaneously. It’s a brute-force technical upgrade that’s become the backbone of everything from Netflix to 8K Blu-rays.
