MOV and MP4: containers and codecs

MOV

MOV is the QuickTime media container; its filename alone does not tell you which video or audio codecs it contains.

MP4

The output is an MP4 container with H.264 video and AAC audio, unless audio is removed. It is suitable for sharing with compatible players; your video stays local until you separately upload it.

Output examples

These examples show the output format. The result depends on your source recording and selected settings.

MP4

Both times are optional. Leave the end blank to keep the rest of the video. Resolution presets limit output height while keeping the aspect ratio, without upscaling. Re-encoding may change quality and file size.

If processing fails

  • Conversion failed. The codec may be unsupported or browser memory insufficient.
  • The file exceeds 100 MB.
  • One file, up to 100 MB. Available browser memory may limit conversion.

Keep this tab open. Try a shorter lecture or recording with a supported codec and close other heavy tabs before retrying.

Before sharing your result

Play the downloaded file and check the transcript, including names and technical terms. Keep your original. Local conversion does not create a public link.

Frequently asked questions

Which MOV to MP4 settings should I choose?

Standard uses CRF 23; higher quality uses 18 and smaller file uses 28. Choose source resolution or a maximum of 1080p, 720p or 480p. Smaller sources are not enlarged; output size is not guaranteed.

Can I trim a MOV or make a silent MP4?

Yes. Enter optional start and end times in seconds, with the end later than the start. Leave the end blank to keep the remaining video. Remove audio to make a silent MP4.

Is my video uploaded?

No. Conversion runs in this browser on your device.

Does this work offline?

First use needs internet to download the engine. Later use depends on cached engine files.

Why can conversion fail?

Unsupported source codecs or limited browser memory can cause failure, even below 100 MB.
