Are you a Mac user? Have you ever installed Quicktime on your Mac for playing your favorite movies, only to find that the video formats it supports are so limited? A large number of Mac users must have the same experience. You might have this feeling that what a disappointing media player! Actually Quicktime has more powerful abilities except its limited supported video formats.

Knowledge – What is QuickTime?

QuickTime (.mov) is a media container format. It functions as a multimedia container file that contains one or more tracks, each of which store a particular type of data, such as audio, video, effects, or text.

Each track contains track media, either the digitally-encoded media stream (using a specific codec such as Cinepak, Sorenson codec, MP3, JPEG, DivX, or PNG) or a data reference to the media stored in another file or elsewhere on a network. Quicktime is a closed source, propriety format that cannot be manipulated. It is considered suitable for editing.

Other file formats that QuickTime supports natively (to varying degrees) include AIFF, WAV, DV-DIF, MP3, and MPEG program stream. With additional QuickTime Components, it can also support Ogg, ASF, Flash Video, Matroska, DivX Media Format, and many others.
