Quicktime Format Type

As of 1/1/2014

The Quicktime File format is a multimedia wrapper which uses various encodings. After identifying your quicktime file or fileset with DROID, the free and opensource characterization software MediaInfo may be used to determine which codex was used to create it. While most of the action plans associated with different encodings will be the same. Some will be nessessarly altered if the encoding includes special elements such as DRM, timecodes, captions, or interactivity.
