What is a MOV extension file?
MOV videos are encoded with the MPEG-4 codec and have been developed by Apple that’s also known as ‘QuickTime File Format’ (QTFF). It’s natively used by the QuickTime Player on both Windows and macOS computers. But there is a catch that can obviously bother content creators or video editors while rendering or import/export in most scenarios. Well, that’s none other than the huge file size of MOV content.
Yes! That’s the biggest drawback of using a MOV file format for videos or other multimedia content. If you shoot videos on your DSLR at even 1080P (30 FPS) for a few minutes, the MOV file size output may count in gigabytes (GBs) which is difficult to handle during compression and post-production work even if you have a powerful PC setup. So, here the Wondershare UniConverter tool comes in handy to make a smaller MOV file size.
