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 FLAC?
FLAC compresses audio without discarding anything: decoded, it is bit-for-bit identical to the original, yet typically 40–60% smaller than WAV. It is the favourite of audiophiles and music archives, although some older players and Apple apps do not support it.
Tips for converting MOV to FLAC
- Only the soundtrack of your MOV file goes into the FLAC; the picture is discarded.
- FLAC keeps the soundtrack without further loss, but the file is several times larger than an MP3.
- Long videos still take a while to process, and the MOV upload itself must fit the 50MB free limit.
- Keep the original video: the audio file cannot be turned back into it.
