QuickTime movie files
QuickTime movie overview
QuickTime is cross-platform multimedia technology that allows OS X applications to capture and
play back video, audio, and still-image files. QuickTime is an open standard with many built-in
codecs and is both a multimedia and streaming media architecture. It’s widely used for both
authoring and delivery. For example, many video editing and compositing applications use
QuickTime as their base format. QuickTime contains a wide range of video and audio codecs
suitable for everything from streaming video to DVD. The QuickTime architecture can also handle
file formats other than QuickTime movies, such as AVI files and 3G streams. For more information
about creating those kinds of formats, see
QuickTime Export Components overview on page 130.
