How to convert MOV to MP4
MOV (Apple's QuickTime container) and MP4 are close cousins — both commonly wrap H.264 or HEVC video with AAC audio — which is why converting between them is usually fast and effectively lossless.

Why convert at all
MOV files, especially from iPhones, play perfectly on Apple devices but can be less consistently supported by Windows software, some web uploaders, and older Android apps. MP4 is the safer default for sharing broadly.
What happens during conversion
When the video/audio codecs inside the MOV are already MP4-compatible, converting is a fast container remux — no re-encoding, no quality change, just repackaging the same data in an MP4 wrapper.
When quality could change
If the source uses a codec MP4 doesn't support directly, a re-encode happens instead. This is still very close to the original quality, but not bit-for-bit identical.
