What is MOV?
MOV is Apple's QuickTime container, the default format for iPhone recordings and Final Cut Pro exports. It supports high-quality codecs such as ProRes and HEVC, but outside the Apple ecosystem it is less universally supported than MP4.
What is AVI?
AVI is one of the oldest video containers, introduced by Microsoft for Windows. It is simple and still opens on older players and DVD hardware, but it lacks modern features such as efficient streaming and reliable subtitle support, and files tend to be large.
Tips for converting MOV to AVI
- Check the length and resolution of your MOV file first: long 4K videos take several minutes to process and may exceed the 50MB free limit.
- If you only need the soundtrack, pick an audio format such as MP3 instead of AVI — the file will be much smaller.
- Keep the original video until you have checked the converted file plays correctly on the device you want to use.
- Subtitles and extra audio tracks are not always carried over between containers, so check them after converting.
