Difference between MP4 and MOV: As we all know, the MP4 and MOV containers both can use the same MPEG-4 codecs, they are mostly interchangeable in a QuickTime-only environment. Why some MP4 files can't be imported into iMovie and MOV can be edited with iMovie. MOV is Apple proprietary for QuickTime, and MP4 is an international standard, which also supports a variety of codecs, but is used mostly with H.264.
