How convert mp4 to mov works

Process

Choose an MP4 file and start the conversion. The video is encoded as H.264 and audio as AAC in a fast-start MOV container.

Result

A MOV file for editing and playback software that prefers the QuickTime container.

Good to know

Conversion re-encodes the source even when it already contains compatible tracks, so it takes time and may slightly change quality.

Will the MOV work with QuickTime Player?

The H.264 and AAC output is designed for broad compatibility with current QuickTime software.

Is MOV always higher quality than MP4?

No. MOV and MP4 are containers; quality depends on the video and audio codecs and encoding settings.
