When working with Apple definition of UTIs, what is different between "public.movie" and "public.video"?

I am importing movies using NSOpenPanel. You can set the allowedFileTypes to either "public.movie" and "public.video" UTI. When you do this, you can select a movie file on the desktop or one stored in Photos or TV app (library). So, what is the diffence beween the two settings? The UTI document implies "video" is subclass of "movie", but they seem to have the same effect.

.video should include the graphics, but no sound. The .movie should provide both the graphics & sound. Click here for more from Apple UTI's
