MOV
MOV is the default video format for videos taken using iPhones, MacBooks, and other Apple devices. You can upload MOV files to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok.
MOV uses an MPEG4 container file format that stores multiple tracks including audio and video tracks, and text. MOV is most commonly used for saving movies and other video files. It is designed primarily for QuickTime Player which is the native media player on Apple Devices. It is sometimes also referred to as 'iMovie video'.
MPEG
MPEG is used to store films and movies. You can upload MPEG videos to Facebook and YouTube but not to mobile-based social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. VLC is the best media player to play MPEG videos but they cannot be opened on QuickTime.
MPEG stands for Moving Pictures Expert Group. They are usually compressed as MPEG2 or MPEG4, which makes them quicker to download and easier to stream. Videos stored as MPEG are of a higher quality than rivaling formats, as they can compress data at a higher rate. MPEG4 files are best for mobile devices as they are compressed into smaller file sizes than MPEG2.
