At first, it was a unique format for audio and video data, but later its competitors such as AVI, AMV, FLV, Real Media appeared. MOV files are currently standard for storing movies and any other video.

AC3 is a sound file format. Its name is the abbreviation for Audio Codec 3. The format was developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc as a modern and efficient sound compression technology. AC3 files feature Dolby Digital multi-channel surround sound. In this regard, they are widely distributed as a format for DVDs, movie theaters and game consoles. However, you can evaluate all the advantages of such files only if you have the appropriate acoustics for surround sound. An audio file of the specified format can include up to six sound channels, which creates a presence effect for the listener.
