How to Convert MOV to ISO

MOV is bound with QuickTime. In order to explain what exactly is MOV, we have to get to know what is QuickTime first. QuickTime is a multimedia framework developed by the famous Apple Inc., it is the default player embedded in most Apple products to handle(play, record, edit and share) various formats of digital video, picture, sound, panoramic images, and interactivity.

QuickTime Latest Version & Main Features

Since the 1st version of QuickTime was released in 2009, it has been went through 10 versions until now. The latest QuickTime Player(version 10) is available for downloading from Apple website and with the following great features:

QuickTime Share with many methods and channels like Mail, Messages, AirDrop and YouTube, etc.

QuickTime File Format(QTFF)

We always watch various videos via QuickTime Player on iPhone, and most videos are played smoothly in the format of MOV or QT, that’s the QTFF we are talking about. As the contents sometimes can include audio and text besides video, QTFF therefore can be extended to MPEG-4 Part 12 in certain way.

This will scratch the surface of another issue, which is the relation of QTFF to MP4. Since the same MPEG-4 format can be used by QuickTime and MP4 container formats, they are actually switchable, the only slight difference is MP4 has more support due to the fact that MP4 has always been considered as the international standard.
