This doesn't say anything about the filename extension .MOV Why is that? AboundingHinata ( talk) 20:00, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
@ AboundingHinata: I've always understood ".MOV" to be an abbreviation of "movie". Pace J. M., filename extensions are not mere arbitrary combinations of characters. If they were arbitrary, they'd be a lot harder to remember; as it is, they're usually abbreviations, which have mnemonic value. Quotes here are taken from the linked articles:
.html
= "
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)".jpg
=
JPEG, "an initialism/acronym for the Joint Photographic Experts Group, which created the standard".rtf
=
Rich Text Format, "often abbreviated RTF".doc
=
DOC or doc, "an abbreviation of 'document'".odt
= Open Document
word processing (text) document.ods
= Open Document
spreadsheet.odp
= Open Document
presentation.odg
= Open Document
graphic.odf
= Open Document
formulae (mathematical equations)And so on.
Please {{Ping}} me to discuss. -- Thnidu ( talk) 18:03, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
Is there any difference between .mov and .qt files? Are they totally interchangeable/identical? The article should be very clear about this!
Please add sample files with these two file formats, and/or links to demonstration sample files. - 96.233.20.116 ( talk) 17:21, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
There is a new term that needs its own WP page: MOOV is in the news: Headline: MOOV to Next Generation Fitness Coaching Wearable.
"MOOV is a sleek watch-like device with a 1.5 inch disc which can be strapped around the wrist, arm, ankle, or even a bicycle." — FYI, Charles Edwin Shipp ( talk) 09:11, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
BTW/FYI: At this time, as far as I can ascertain, 'MOOV' does not stand for anything, unless you make it up, such as 'MOtivational On (you) Visionary' .!. :-) MOOV is not an acronym, at this time, to anyone but the inventor. — Charles Edwin Shipp ( talk) 10:01, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
Visit the manufacturer/seller website (I'm not associated with them) for the FAQ (frequently asked questions) including "What is Moov?":
" Q: What is Moov?
A: Moov is the next generation of wearable fitness gadgets. It is a personal training device and a collection of sports and fitness game applications that analyze your form (posture) and give you specific, real-time instructions on how to improve your motion and movement efficiency. Depending on the type of exercise, attach Moov to the body part that you would like to measure during your workout. For instance, wear Moov on your ankle or shoe when running, wrist while cardio-boxing. Moov pairs with the Moov app (on your mobile device) and tracks your movement, analyzes your body’s position, provides instant feedback and details your progress over time. Feedback is provided in two ways: visually via your mobile device and orally via your earphones."
FYI, Hope This Helps, —
