A .mov file is a video storage format that uses compression technology without losing image quality. Developed and implemented this format, one of the largest corporations in the operating system market - Apple. The mov format is intended for viewing, creating, editing and publishing various video files. The MOV format is a multimedia file type that works with Apple and QuickTime players. At one time, it was one of a kind for audio and video data. In simple words, the mov format is a multimedia container that stores video files, images, sound, and text. When saving files, the format uses a data compression system. The MOV format, or as it is commonly called, QuickTime, has advantages over similar file types in that it is easy to edit and is overwhelmingly popular. MOV stores footage, graphics, animation, and 3D content. Like most video files, it contains tracks of various information. Videos are sometimes accompanied by music, text, or multimedia effects. Each of the elements represent a separate data track. The main system player with Mac OS X has a version for Windows for a long time, and due to the peculiarities of the MOV format, it is best suited for running such a video on an OS from Microsoft.

FLAC or Free Lossless Audio Codec is a free codec designed for lossless compression of audio files. Usually it compresses the original WAV file - and, unlike lossy compression (which is provided by the MP3, AAC, WMA, Ogg Vorbis, Opus formats), FLAC does not remove anything from the audio data stream. Thus, you get (with a compatible decoder in the system) perfect quality - and noticeably fewer files. It provides complete safety of all data from the audio stream, is capable of compressing from 1.4 to 4 times with a bit rate of 350-1010 kbps, is used to create audio collections and are used for listening on premium equipment. FLAC is currently the most popular lossless audio compression format. If lossless support is declared for any software or hardware, it is almost certain that this software / hardware can play FLAC. The format is the de facto standard among lovers of high-quality sound. In fact, lossless compression can be compared to the WinRAR archiver, which can compress, for example, a text file absolutely without changing the content, but with a decent change in size downward, in comparison with the original original file. This format implies some compression of information, so the same song in FLAC format can take up to half less memory than in WAV format. However, this compression does not affect the quality of the music in any way. it is not music that is archived, as in MP3 format, but the data and processing takes place according to a different principle.
