## How it works

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.

## Limitations

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

## Frequently asked questions

### 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.
