WMV (Windows Media Video) files are most commonly used when the file size needs to be kept small and it's not a problem if there is some loss in video quality. This makes them ideal for streaming videos over the internet. They are most compatible with Windows devices, but they can work on other systems as well.
MOV files, on the other hand, are high-quality files that are often used in professional video editing. They maintain their quality even with compression, but this results in a larger file size. These files are most compatible with Apple devices, but like WMV files, they can also work on other systems.
