> they added .mov in their list of file types and had aliased it to .mp4 format

That’s weird. Why’d they do that. They should make a separate entry for mov and associate it with video/quicktime

Guess it might be something related to https://stackoverflow.com/a/44785870 but like they point out, mov is a container format that can contain one of many different codecs used. And isn’t mp4 just a container too? Referring to mov files as video/mp4 seems straight up incorrect to me
