Both MOV and MP4 are containers. The war was on the codecs they could support.

Code ax.

Yes, the Code Ax war against containers and Empty4 and Moves. Lasted throughout the 90’s!

anybody remember the video formats in the early 90s? I have recently found some archive files on archive.org which were in .gl format, which was a video player in the late 80s. Also FLIC was another one. MOV and AVI were popular, MPEG1 was.When I was at university I spend a lot of time figuring out which file was witch to be able to play them
