About MOV and AVI
MOV: MOV is Apple's QuickTime format and the default for videos recorded on iPhone. Recent iPhones record MOV files in HEVC (H.265), which many Windows PCs and older Android phones can't play.
AVI: AVI is Microsoft's classic video format from the Windows 95 era. It is still used by older cameras, DVD players and Windows software.
