QuickTime is a container format developed by Apple Computer, Inc. It is usually used to wrap video content, but can also be used to wrap sound and still image data.
The QuickTime format was used as the basis for the international standard MPEG-4 format.

Quicktime VR
In the past, the Quicktime format has been used as a container for so called Virtual Reality (or rather, 360 degree panorama) data. Not clear how to identify. File extensions usually just .mov, but may be .qt or more specifically .qvr (possibly .qtvr?).
- Getting started with QuickTime VR - tutorial from February, 1996.]
- Mentions "creator/file type of the downloaded movie to QuickTime VR’s 'vrod'/'MooV'", which may be the type?
- ffprobe shows "Stream #0:1(eng): Data: none (pano / 0x6F6E6170), 0 kb/s", so I presume 'pano' is the ftyp/FourCC?
- "The media type of the panorama track is 'pano'." from Quicktime file format specification, page 289.
- Example Quicktime VR files
