Quicktime Movie Codecs
Many PC users have a lot of misconceptions about Quicktime. Some view it as "just for Macs," others seem to think it offers lower resolution than AVI. Quicktime is actually one of the oldest and most complex media architectures out there.
Quicktime has also been adopted by most of the video production industry, and some video software (like Avid) use Quicktime as their basis. While AVI is rather simple, containing just one track of video and one track of audio, Quicktime files can contain all kinds of media, including multiple audio and video tracks.
